George Broom, 435th Air Mobility Squadron contingency airfield manager, looks through night vision goggles to monitor a C-130J Super Hercules’ approach to a runway Feb. 5 in Elefsis, Greece. The 435th Air Ground Operations Wing’s Contingency Response Group is implementing a new landing zone program that will allow members of CRGs to prepare landing zone operations from picking the location to actually providing limited air traffic control.
