Joint Terminal Attack Controllers deploy with Army units, and bring to the fight an ability to quickly and accurately call close air support to engage enemy targets on the ground. Red Flag-Alaska, a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. forces, provides joint offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support, and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.
