Who were the first guys into Afghanistan.

Air Force forward air controllers.

They went out alone with Afghan forces to identify and laser designate targets for the bombers.

What does that have to do with anything? Do you think the Army can't handle air traffic control and Special Operations?

You think that instead of having an Air Force guy accompany an Army Special ops team, that one of the Army guys could not do it?

I would also like to see your source.

The AF is usually the first boots on the ground in any combat region.
