A student from 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) wears FPV goggles to view the live first-person feed while an instructor holds the student-built drone and offers real-time instruction during flight preparation in the Operator Drone Basic Course at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 27, 2026. This hands-on outdoor phase follows drone assembly and simulator training, enabling Green Berets to master sensitive FPV controls, troubleshoot on the spot, and employ unmanned systems for precision reconnaissance, observation, or action—reducing risk to personnel by placing robots in high-threat positions on future battlefields.
