It’s the job of a JTAC to call in air support when troops come under fire. An exercise in the Czech Republic focuses on training JTACs, or Joint Terminal Attack Controllers as they’re known.
Fifteen hundred military personnel from 16 NATO Allies and partner nations are gathered together in the Czech Republic to train their JTACS or Joint Terminal Attack Controllers. That's the service member whose job it is to call in air support if troops are coming under fire. Ample Strike 2016 – an international Czech-led exercise –also provides an opportunity to train aircrew and commanders of ground units in realistic, complex and demanding scenarios. Footage includes shots of soldiers running under fire in a training scenario and the JTAC calling in an air strike.
