About this exam
The Air Force Combat Control Assessment and Selection is part of the pathway for candidates seeking to become Air Force Combat Controllers (CCTs), special warfare airmen trained to coordinate air support and control aircraft in austere environments. It is not simply a conventional written exam with a published set of academic sections. Candidates are evaluated for qualities such as physical readiness, communication, teamwork, judgment, and ability to perform under pressure. Eligibility requirements and the selection process can depend on a candidate’s status and current Air Force policy.
Preparation should address both the demands of special warfare selection and the technical knowledge relevant to combat control. Useful review areas include air traffic control fundamentals, radio communications and aviation phraseology, airfield and landing zone surveys, and aviation weather and flight conditions. These subjects support the role, but studying them alone does not replace physical preparation or demonstrate selection readiness. Use current Air Force recruiting and Special Warfare guidance for requirements and process details, since procedures may change. Timed multiple-choice practice can help reinforce technical concepts and reveal gaps.
How to Prepare for Combat Control Assessment and Selection
- Build a steady review plan for air traffic control fundamentals, aviation radio phraseology, landing zone surveys, and weather concepts; focus on understanding how each applies to safe aircraft operations.
- Use timed practice questions to check recall, then review every missed answer and explain why the correct option fits. Treat practice as a way to find knowledge gaps, not as a prediction of selection results.
- Prepare beyond academics: follow current Air Force guidance for physical readiness and candidate requirements, and confirm eligibility and process details through official recruiting or Special Warfare sources.
