What is the major focus of the Pathfinder School curriculum?

The major focus of the Pathfinder School curriculum is air traffic control and aerial resupply operations. This specialized training prepares Soldiers to operate in environments where they will coordinate air support and ensure the safe and efficient delivery of supplies via aviation assets. The skills taught in this area are crucial for enabling combat operations, especially in remote or difficult terrains where traditional resupply methods may not be effective.

The curriculum emphasizes techniques for locating landing zones, controlling rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, and implementing procedures for aerial resupply, which are vital for maintaining logistical operations in the field. This training enhances the ability of the Soldiers to support their units effectively by ensuring that they can communicate and manage flight operations safely and efficiently during complex missions.
