The Combat Control Foundation (CCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2021 and we are First There to provide care and support to Combat Controllers (CCTs), their families, and other members of the military special operations community. The Foundation focuses on four pillars: Resilience, Wellness, Education, and Heritage.
The Combat Control Foundation’s First There 4 Resiliency (FT4-R) program provides mission critical support for combat controllers, their families, and Gold Star families during challenging times. From emergency assistance like home repairs, rent relief, and medical travel to grief counseling, we’re here to help meet urgent needs and honor sacrifices. Our support covers funeral and memorial expenses, sponsorship of remembrance events, and logistical aid, ensuring a dignified farewell for fallen heroes. To strengthen resilience, we've provided for day-to-day necessities such as cell phone coverage, daycare, and hotel stays, as well as unique opportunities like retreats, and recreation to foster healing. We have also assisted with financial barriers to professional requirements, covering costs for certifications, legal needs, and counseling. Whether providing tickets to a game for a Gold Star family or funding a retreat to promote mental wellness, our commitment is unwavering: to reduce stress, promote well-being, and empower our community to face life’s toughest challenges with strength and resilience.
The demanding nature of Combat Control duty takes a toll on the well-being of warriors and their families, both physically and mentally. Our First There 4 Wellness (FT4-W) program provides crucial financial and logistical aid to Combat Control Team (CCT) members who sustain critical injuries or fall ill. By relieving the associated burdens, we empower them to prioritize their healing journey and well-being. We also extend our support to family members facing difficulties, and we remain committed to promoting the well-being of warriors, families, and veterans. Our goal is to ensure their continued health by providing the necessary assistance and resources for their overall wellness.
Through our First There 4 Education (FT4-E) program, we aim to empower Combat Control Team family members by providing scholarships for higher education and training. We are committed to supporting quality education opportunities for dependent children, especially in geographically separated duty locations where the right educational choices are vital for the student's overall success. The goal of FT4-E is to ensure that education remains accessible and attainable for the families within the Combat Control Community.
Our First There 4 Heritage (FT4-H) program is committed to preserving, educating, and honoring the legacy of the Combat Control Community. With initiatives like historical interviews, memorials, reunions, and public educational events, we ensure that the extraordinary acts of service and enduring brotherhood within the community are celebrated and remembered. Through recognitions like the MSgt John A. Chapman Service Before Self Award and support for Combat Control graduations, we strengthen the bonds that define this proud legacy and educate others about the exceptional contributions of Combat Controllers.
