Airman 1st Class Santiago Gonzales, 8th Operations Support Squadron Radar Approach Control Facility air traffic control specialist, fills out a legal action recording during an air traffic controller exchange program joint training at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, March 27, 2026. The Wolf Pack’s Radar Approach Control has implemented a program since 2019 that invites U.S. Marine Corps Air Traffic Controllers who are temporarily assigned to Kunsan AB to obtain U.S. Air Force ratings. This enhances the ability to provide air traffic services for U.S. Forces Korea aircraft and members conducting training, operation surges during exercises and defense missions.
