During the war in South East Asia, an individual Forward Air Controller would normally be assigned to a Tactical Air Support Squadron (TASS). The squadrons were subordinate units of the 504th Tactical Air Support Group. The Rustics and the Ravens were different. They were not part of the 504th, they took their orders from the White House and the State Department. They were the FACs of the secret wars in Cambodia and Laos.
The war in Southeast Asia was fought by real people and they have history that includes their emotions, details not recorded elsewhere, and humor. In an effort not to lose this valuable insight we are stashing it here.
