Tactical Air  Control Party (TACP) Airmen are specifically trained to employ precision strike platforms from all domains (air, space, cyber and ground) to destroy enemy targets within close proximity of friendly forces.

TACP Airmen are the only Air Force Special Warfare Airmen who are 100% Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs). TACPs support every combat maneuver force in the Army , including Rangers and Special Forces.
