What Are Air Force TACPs?

US Air Force TACPs are among the most lethal soldiers on the battlefield. After undergoing a training pipeline that drops up to 70% of applicants, they embed with ground combat units from other services and serve as the eyes, ears and voice to guide in air strikes in the heat of battle.

As a Marine, I was familiar with ANGLICO, and, I had heard of Army 13F and Air Force TACP, but, not until I Myself crossdecked on over to the Army, and, 3d Ranger Battalion, did I personally got to work alongside Army FOs and Air Force TACP and CCT.🇺🇸🦅🗽

Enlisted TACP candidates go through the 8-week SW prep course with the other SW career field candidates before the 22-week TACP apprentice course (the schoolhouse). TACP officers don’t go to the prep course though and have a slightly different process before the apprentice course.

@coles2688 2 жыл бұрын

Similar to TACP, but in the Army, and from my understanding they primarily deals with artillery and mortar stuff rather than planes and helicopters like TACP’s focus on.

@nightmarefiles1 2 жыл бұрын

@@coles2688 they definitely deal with helicopters being that the army has them organic. They usually provide JTACs all of the targeting data for Fixed wing aircraft (planes). That’s why their MOS has “Joint” at the beginning of it. They deal with all assets.

CCT’s main job is Air Traffic Control. Armed Air Traffic Controllers that deploy with SOF/Spec ops units. A lot of them are also JTAC certified so some of them do Joint Fire Assault or calling in Air Strikes. TACP’s main job is JTACing and supporting the ground commander and his troops with heavy arms aerial fire. So basically calling in Air Strikes. TACP’s are 95% conventional and deploy with Conventional army and Marine units. The 5% are SOF TACP’s that go through a different Selection to be attached to SOF units.
