Crack Operators Whatever the PARKS' assignment Combat Information Center plays the leading role. Manned by the Radarmen of OI Division under the leadership of RDC HOWARD and RDI STONE with assistance from RDI ODOM, RD2 THOMPSON and RD2 BROUGHAM, Combat has the responsibility of collecting and reporting informa- tion on unidentified and friendly surface and air contacts . Operating a vast assortment of sophisticated electronics equipment, the radarmen relay the information collected to command and Weapons control stations . During search and rescue operations they control helicopters and fighter aircraft, guiding them to the downed pilots . In case of enemy air attack the Air Intercept Controller is ready to control our fighters to intercept these hostile invaders . During gunfire support operations, Combat assumes the controlling role of the gunfire support team . By maintaining communications with the forces ashore and relaying target information to the weapons control stations, the Radarmen put the guns on target. They also man the ship's electronic counter- measures equipment used to discover the presence of other forces . Led by ETC KNIGHT with assistance from ETR2 MYERS, ETN2 GRANNE LL and ETN2 RUMOCKI, the Electronic Technicians form the otherhalf of the OI Division.
