LOS ANGELES AIR FORCE BASE - EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- U.S. Air Force Special Operations recruiters will be here April 28 to meet with and educate male and female enlisted and officer Airmen interested in cross training into Special Tactics.

The recruiters are looking for motivated Airmen interested in Combat Control, Tactical Air Control Party, Special Operations Weather, Pararescue, Special Tactics Officer and Combat Rescue Officer career fields, and who are prepared to dedicate themselves to the Special Tactics mission of integrating air and ground forces for mission success.
