Air Commandos have been deeply involved in overt and covert operations around the globe spanning from World War II (Europe, Pacific, China, Burma, and India), Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, the Balkans, Kosovo, Africa, Panama, Colombia, the Philippines, Iraq, Afghanistan and many more. Given the number of Air Commandos involved in these operations, there are certainly heroes who may or may not have been rewarded for their contributions. These are men and women who served gallantly, usually without acclaim for themselves. In some cases, only their closest comrades, friends, or family members know the true sacrifices and contributions these Airmen made.
The Air Commando Association's goal is to properly recognize these professionals and their accomplishments by nominating them for the Air Commando Hall of Fame. Inductees must clearly reflect SIGNIFICANT contributions to the betterment of Air Force Special Operations Forces and are selected by the Air Commando Association Hall of Fame Committee.
The Grey Berets shown below have all earned this distinctive honor.
