Talk:Joint terminal attack controller

Untitled
JTAC is a term within the United States armed services; other nationalities, particularly NATO, continue to use the FAC designation. The British also have a Laser Target Marker Operator (LTMO) who supplements the FAC.
 * The Australians and Canadians also use the term Joint Terminal Attack Controller. There doctrine is very much in line with US doctrine.  That being said FAC is a term still used in many countries and is somewhat separate from JTAC in some ways.  The articles should not be merged and should remain on their own.--Looper5920 23:22, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

WP:MILHIST Assessment
This article seriously needs expansion. The introduction also needs some work; in accordance with Wikipedia standards, this really ought to begin "Joint terminal attack controller is..." LordAmeth 14:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * This article should be combined with Forward air control, and JTAC should then redirect to FAC. JTAC is nothing more than a military name change that means the same as its predecessor Forward Air Controller.  Usually these name changes are the result of added capabilities, and thus distinguish the newer named function form its predecessor.  Thoughts? — Andrew 18:37, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Setup a redirect to Forward air control, but in the end undid it, decided that though JTAC is essentially the same thing, simply renamed, they are different, albeit very slightly. The FAC article is really about Vietnam and previous era Air-Ground fire control, JTACs are modern. Andrew 04:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This should be left as JTAC, as the U.S. Army currently uses ONLY the JTAC, and not FAC. If you redirect JTAC to FAC, you miss out that the Army uses this, while other forces (Marines, Navy) still use FAC AND JTAC —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.79.22 (talk) 03:20, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
