Guiding the Mission: The Air Traffic Controllers Behind Army Aviation at GTA

U.S. Army Sgt. Ashton Schübel and Spc. Adrian China sit inside the air traffic control tower at Grafenwoehr Army Airfield, monitoring the steady flow of rotary-wing aircraft operating in and out of the Grafenwoehr Training Area.

From the elevated vantage point above the runway, the two Soldiers track movement across controlled airspace, coordinate with multiple facilities, and ensure every aircraft maintains safe separation while supporting daily aviation operations across the installation.
