Close Air Support Task Force

A Close Air Support (CAS) Task Force is a military unit that provides air support to ground troops in combat. Its primary role is to deliver precision air strikes and reconnaissance to help ground forces engage enemy targets effectively, especially in close proximity to friendly forces. The task force includes fighter aircraft, drones, and control teams that coordinate attacks, ensuring that support is timely and accurate. By working closely with ground commanders, the CAS Task Force enhances the effectiveness of ground operations, protects troops, and contributes to achieving overall mission objectives.
