A dark, cold battlefield: My ‘Happiest place on Earth’
U.S. Marine Capt. Chris Walker, 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company Supporting Arms Liaison Team (SALT) Delta joint terminal attack controller, talks to SALT-Air as he annotates coordinates during a night close-air support scenario at Juniper Butte bombing range near Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, Oct. 8, 2013. The base and the 266th Range Squadron control and maintain emitter sites across almost 7,500-square miles of operational range space, and it's that access to airspace and ranges that allows for realistic, safe training and testing while providing the flexibility to accommodate the complexity of this multinational, multiservice exercise.
