As a Forward Air Controller in support of air strikes in Operation ALLIED FORCE, Lieutenant Federal orchestrated the delivery of over 59,000 pounds of ordnance from 74 strike aircraft, destroying 66 tactical targets in Kosovo. Lieutenant Federal was instrumental in developing high threat Strike Coordination and Armed Reconnaissance tactics employed in Kosovo, including remote laser designator procedures that made target prosecution in a high threat environment possible. Such tactics were not addressed in training in preparation for deployment, nor were they previously tested in combat. To identify and direct attack against tactical targets, he routinely descended into the heart of threat envelopes at great personal risk. In the face of grave danger, he demonstrated superior aviation skills and determination that were key to the success of operations in Kosovo. In 74 attacks of delivery aircraft, Lieutenant Federal minimized collateral damage potential and helped achieve air campaign. By his superior airmanship, courage under fire, and steadfast devotion to duty, Lieutenant Federal reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
