Meet Sergeant 'Bommer' Grahame. He's just an ordinary squaddie but on the battlefield he wields more power than any other soldier. He's an elite army JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller- pronounced 'jay-tack') u a highly-trained specialist warrior responsible for calling in and directing Allied air power. At his command, under call sign Widow 7-9, Apache gunships, A10 tank-busters, F15s and Harrier jets target the enemy in the most intense and lethal combat situations. Due to his specialist role, Sergeant Grahame usually operates in the thick of the action, where it's at its most fearsome and deadly. Conjuring the seemingly impossible from apparently hopeless situations, soldiers in battle rely on the skill and bravery of the JTACs to enable them to win through in the heat of the danger zone. Widow 7-9 tells the story of Bommer Grahame and his five-man Fire Support Team on their tour of Afghanistan. Sometimes operating behind enemy lines, they were hunted and targeted by the enemy, shot, blown-up, mortared and hit by rockets on numerous occasions. Under these conditions Sergeant Grahame notched up 203 confirmed enemy kills u or more than one per day u saving the lives of the men in his company and decimating the attacking Taliban.
