Real-Life Alignment

Joint Terminal Attack Controller is a qualification/designation tied to controlling close air support and terminal attack control under approved procedures.

Current SOTF / V35 Use

On the current site, 8002 links fire support, airwing, and command. It should be treated as a serious fires/air-ground control role.

Unit Association

This MOS is currently associated on the website with V35 Fire Support / Airwing Integration. Future member profiles should use the background image tied to the member's assigned unit association.

Command Profile Rule

When this MOS appears on a command profile, the profile must preserve the member's rank, unit, and MOS at the time of each billet, award, citation, or deployment. Current MOS changes should not overwrite older deployment history.

SOTF Responsibilities

These responsibilities mirror the real-world function of the MOS while keeping it usable inside SOTF MISFIT operations.

Coordinate air support with maneuver leadership.
Use clear target descriptions, control measures, and clearance language.
Integrate with pilots, fire support Marines, and command.
Prevent unsafe or confusing air-ground employment.
Support mission planning when close air support is expected.

Pipeline Progression

This pipeline separates real-world alignment from how SOTF will apply the role in-game.

Real-life route: already-qualified personnel attend formal JTAC training/certification and maintain proficiency.
SOTF route: fire support experience, air-ground coordination evaluation, command approval, and controlled use during operations.

Operational Employment

This MOS should be used when it gives the member a real task inside the formation. The role should support the commander, squad, airwing, recon team, medical section, or staff element in a way that matches the real-world purpose of the MOS.

Website Integration Notes

Command profiles using this MOS should follow the Kane West format: profile picture, rank and callsign, current role, deployment or prior-rank history where applicable, MOS/ADMOS, billet history, biography, qualifications, awards, citations, and a unit-associated background image.
