Description
English: Capt. Daniel Fiust, a Marine Attack Squadron 513 AV-8B Harrier pilot and a native of San Carlos, Calif., receives the Bronze Star Medal from Lt. Col. Samuel Smith, the VMA-513 commanding officer, at the squadron hangar at MCAS Yuma, Jan. 16. Fiust received the award for the tactical ingenuity he displayed while serving as the the air officer and a forward air controller for 3rd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment. "I just felt like I was doing my job," Fiust said. "It was great to have support from 513." One of Fiust's highlights included ground-air coordination in taking out a sniper team pinning down a group of Marines. A battalion air officer acts as a liaison for aviation squadrons supporting ground Marines, directing and dispersing air assets across the battalion's area of operations. The air officer is the senior forward air controller in a battalion. His responsibilities range anywhere from air strikes to airborne medical evacuations.
