The Air Force Combat Controllers do a variety of jobs that include Airfield Assault Zone Establishment, Special Reconaissance, Air Traffic Control, Fire Support, Command, Control, and Communications...
The primary CCT mission is to deploy undetected into austere environments. This is when they carry out recon and establish assault zones, while at the same time primarily doing forward air control and the other stuff listed above. They also frequently participate in direct action alongside Navy SEALS, Army Special Forces, and Marine Recons as a means of communications with aircraft, and also calling in air strikes, etc. They defend against drug cartels, counter-terrorism, foreign internal defense, etc. They also work with Pararescuemen in Special Tactics Squadrons.
Combat Controllers are specially trained and they can get to the battle by any means. They are experts with All Terrain Vehicles, amphibious vehicles, motorcycles, etc. They are experienced with all the weapons other forces are, this including demolitions.
The CCT motto is "First There" because they are often the first in and last out. They are often there before the battle even starts conducting recon and setting up assault zones, and are there before most of the other conventional forces. There is no other special ops that can do the amount of damage they do in the least amount of time...
Hope I helped!

No, it's not an authorised Air Force award, and they wouldn't qualify for it anyhow, as the awarding of the CIB is pretty much restricted to infantry soldiers. The equivalent Air Force award is their own Combat Action Medal.
