Answer: No, the Current Army requirement is that AICs must be staffed by qualified air traffic controllers. Air Traffic Assistants (GS-2154) are not air traffic controllers (GS-2152). Base Ops GS-2154-8 air traffic assistants have not been screened for qualifications of ATC positions. i.e. must have completed training in a recognized ATC course of instruction (i.e. US Army or other DoD ATC School), possess ATC Specialist Certificate (ATCS Card) with previous facility ratings, be on flight status and possess a current Class IV ATC flight physical, meet maximum age restriction of 36 for initial entry into ATC duties (or possess an age waiver to perform ATC duties), etc.
