In this episode of The Spear, retired Marine officer David Berke joins to share a story from 2006, when he was a forward air controller attached to an Army unit in Ramadi, Iraq. During a movement-to-contact patrol, they began to take fire, and his job became especially important.

Listen as he tells the story, explaining what it's like to work with the pilots in the air to engage the enemy in support of the ground force.
