Air Force Combat Controller - CCT on Motorcycle
DoD photo by: SGT MARVIN PRESTON
A USAF combat controller (CCT) rides across an ad hoc airstrip on a motorcycle.
USAF CCTs' motorcycles can be parachuted, packed in protective covering, alongside the CCTs themselves.
They can also be driven straight of the rear ramp of MH-53M Pavelow IV or MH-47E Chinook helicopters.
Aside from general mobility, CCTs use the motorcycles to quickly move out and mark out landing strips using remote controlled infra-red lights.
CCTs use KLR250-D8 diesel-powered motorbikes, as pictured here.
