"Our mission, is multi-faceted."Colonel Williamson said "We fly close air support missions for beleaguered friendly forces, escort truck and boat convoys carrying badly needed supplies, provide forward air controlling capability to F-4 Phantoms, carry out armed reconnaissance looking for targets of opportunity and even have the capability of assisting tactical aircraft to place guided bombs on target.We are especially effective at interdicting trucks and boats, hauling supplies."

To accomplish their mission the largest combat crew in the Air Force for a single aircraft assembles nightly for operations; it takes a number of highly-trained specialists to conduct a single Spectre mission.

The men wear their uniqueness like a badge of distinction, Colonel Williamson says, "We have more talent in this outfit than any I have served with in my 21 years of military service.
