The Eye of The Storm Supplements
For 65 years, a small band of Air Commando’s has quietly operated at the Eye of the Storm. Beginning in 1944; continuing through today's Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), the mission of this obscure band of American airmen has been to provide command and control for every type of allied air-power storming into a combat airhead. Today, in the GWOT, these quiet professionals operate at the bloody end of the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) spear.
In his book, Gene Adcock, CMSgt, USAF (CCT Ret.) touches on the World War II U.S. Army Pathfinders andhighlights the introduction of U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF) Combat Control Teams (CCT) in 1944. From there, the reader is taken on an abbreviated tour of World War II airborne operations.
 Next, is a summary of the painful birth and early growth of CCT in the U.S. Air Force (USAF). Finally, Adcock offers an in-depth, fifty-year look at CCT’s phenomenal growth into a premier fighting force. The final chapter focuses on 21st Century GWOT operations.
The Suplements to the Eye of the Storm, provided here, were created after the publication of the book. Each Suplement is identified with the Julian date of the release of the supplement in 2009.
The supplements are listed in order from most to least recent in Julian date order.
Some of the supplements listed are intended to be inserted at a specific page number within the book, others are supplemental information intended to be joined at the conclusion of the book. Each supplement is footnoted to indicate its appropiate placement.
