A U.S. Army Soldier assigned to 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) pilots an FPV drone using a handheld transmitter while wearing goggles during live flight training in the Operator Drone Basic Course at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 28, 2026. Fully immersed in the first-person view feed, the operator demonstrates the precision and focus developed through the course—progressing from drone assembly and simulator practice to real-world control—enabling Green Berets to employ unmanned systems for enhanced reconnaissance, situational awareness, and force protection by placing robots in high-risk positions instead of personnel.
