This is a picture of my son squatting in a pile of captured AKs, right after the start of the Iraq war. He was with the DOD at the time, just looking.

Yes, as Haku said, Tactical Air Control Party (AKA Tactical Air Command and Control Specialist). They deploy with the Army and live, eat, sleep, and fight with them. Their job is to provide the Army with close air support.
From GlobalSecurity.org:
Only a select few wear the Black Beret that symbolizes the Tactical Air Control Party (TACP). The Air Force specialists are assigned to Army combat maneuver units around the world. On a battlefield, they form a tactical air control party team that plans, requests and directs air strikes against enemy targets in close proximity to friendly forces. A TACP is generally a two-airman team, working in an Army ground unit and directing close air support firepower toward enemy targets on the ground.
