One of the career fields is know called TACP (tactical air control party). They are one or two deep and go in with the Army or Marines to control aircraft, laser tag targets, etc. They are ultimately in harms way and have been known to have to call bombing missions within extremely close proximity to where they are hiding and watching the enemy.

Here is part of their job description:
"Tactical Air Control Party (TACP)
"Death on Call"
Only a select few wear the Black Beret that symbolizes the Tactical Air Control Party (TACP). The Air Force specialists are assigned to Army combat maneuver units around the world. On a battlefield, they form a tactical air control party team that plans, requests and directs air strikes against enemy targets in close proximity to friendly forces. A TACP is generally a two-airman team, working in an Army ground unit and directing close air support firepower toward enemy targets on the ground.

Tactical Air Control Parties provide numerous critical functions on the modern battlefield including: (1) Advising ground forces on aircraft employment and capabilities; (2) Coordinating and controlling aerospace operations and (3) Participating in battle planning"
