Students who completed a new Air Force special operations course became the first to earn the occupational specialty of Special Reconnaissance Airmen in a ceremony on Pope Army Airfield, North Carolina, Thursday.
To broaden its capabilities, the Air Force announced in 2019 it would replace the Special Operations Weather Team (SOWT) occupational field, which was established in 2008, with the new Special Reconnaissance field.
“Today’s SR graduates are better equipped with unique training to conduct multi-domain reconnaissance and surveillance with an eye towards gaps identified in the Department of Defense’s long range reconnaissance and force projection capabilities,” Maj. Spencer Reed, 352nd Special Warfare Training Squadron commander, said in a release.
