Tactical Air Control Party

Australian TACPs are provided by the RAAF and are responsible for the coordination of air assets in support of deployed Army units.

The JTAC, however, conducts target correlation and executes the terminal attack control procedures from a forward position or a command post.

A TACP can coordinate and approve the airspace for an airstrike, but cannot execute the terminal attack control procedure unless they are a qualified and certified JTAC.

Resulting from the investigation, the Air-Land Integration Cell was established in 2007 to provide national standards for JTACs, the creation of the RCAF TACPs, and adequate capability management.

The FAC's role is to guide attack aircraft and fast jets to the correct target by providing descriptions and locations to the pilots via a range of telecommunications equipment.

The USMC has three active duty ANGLICO units with the sole purpose to provide a fires liaison capability to joint, coalition, and allied partner nations.
