Afghan Tactical Air Coordinator's Course

The Afghan Tactical Air Coordinator (ATAC) course has been graduating ANA soldiers who can do live vectoring and talk-on coordination with close air support aircraft. The main program of instruction includes classes on special equipment required by an ATAC, map and communication skills, aircraft capabilities, surface-to-air threats for the aircraft, and other considerations for air support.
