Joint Terminal Attack Controller

A Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) is a trained military specialist who coordinates air support during combat operations. They work closely with ground troops to identify targets and direct aircraft, ensuring precision strikes while minimizing risks to friendly forces and civilians. JTACs use advanced communication and reconnaissance skills to effectively relay information to pilots. Their role is crucial in integrating air power with ground operations, making sure that aerial attacks are accurate and timely, which enhances the effectiveness of military missions and protects lives on the battlefield.
