U.S. Air Force and German armed forces Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) participate in close air support (CAS) training with Air National Guard F-16 fighter jets at the Warren Grove Bombing Range.

Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) is the term used in the United States Armed Forces and some other military forces for a qualified service member who directs the action of combat aircraft engaged in close air support and other offensive air operations from a forward position. The term that is used in most other countries, as well as previously in the US and in the relevant NATO standard is Forward Air Controller.
