Pelster, a 123rd Special Tactics Squadron combat controller, during a ceremony at the Kentucky Air National Guard Base in Louisville, Ky., Nov. 17, 2018. Pelster was instrumental in the execution of nine missions across five countries involving seven landing zones, nine forward area refueling point surveys and one drop zone certification in 2014.
