Joint Tactical Air Controller

A Joint Tactics Air Controller (JTAC) is a trained military specialist who coordinates air support during combat operations. They work closely with ground forces, directing aircraft to deliver precise firepower on target while ensuring safety and minimizing risks. JTACs communicate with pilots using radio systems, providing real-time guidance on threats, targets, and safety procedures. Their role is critical in modern warfare, enabling coordinated, accurate attacks from the air that support ground troops and achieve mission objectives efficiently and safely.
