AFSOC On March 21st-22nd, the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) hosted JINSA officers and members at Hurlburt Field, Florida as part of JINSA's Base Visit Program.  The visit provided an excellent opportunity for the JINSA group to gain a greater understanding of AFSOC operations and capabilities in support of current military operations as well as the sacrifices made by military families. Among the highlights of the trip, the group had lunch with airmen from various AFSOC units, observed hand-to-hand combat training and pre-SCUBA diving exercises for Combat Controller Training. The group also toured PC-12, AC-130U, and CV-22 aircraft.
