TACPs with AFSOC Special Tactics Squadrons and the 17th Air Support Operations Squadron deploy with special operations forces in order to provide terminal attack control and fire support expertise.
Acting as the bridge between special ops on the ground and fire power in the air, TACPs play a vital role in operations.
