U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) conduct live FPV drone piloting in a wooded training environment during the Operator Drone Basic Course at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, Jan. 29, 2026. Wearing goggles with high-gain antennas and handheld transmitters, operators immerse in first-person view control to refine precision flight skills developed through assembly, simulator, and instructor-led phases—equipping Green Berets to deploy unmanned systems for reconnaissance, observation, or action while minimizing personnel risk and enhancing adaptability against evolving battlefield threats.
