We are thrilled to share incredible news for the Combat Control community!


Academy Award nominee Adam Driver and Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway will star in Alone at Dawn, directed by Ron Howard and produced by Amazon MGM. The film will tell the story of Medal of Honor recipient Master Sergeant John A. Chapman, a U.S. Air Force Combat Controller who gave his life to save his teammates during a fierce battle in Afghanistan in 2002.


John’s final acts of valor, continuing to fight through mortal wounds to protect others, represent the highest measure of courage and sacrifice.


A special thank you to Combat Controller and New York Times best-selling author Lt. Col. (Ret.) Dan Schilling, CCT, whose book Alone at Dawn was the driving force in bringing John’s story, and the story of Combat Controllers, to life with accuracy and honor.


The Combat Control Foundation is deeply honored to see John’s sacrifice recognized on such a stage. His story embodies the courage, selflessness, and devotion to duty carried by all Combat Controllers, past and present.
