戰術空軍管制組

戰術空中管制組（英語：Tactical Air Control Party-TACP），是一支由空軍或海軍陸戰隊人員組成的小組，用以解決空域衝突，並在地面部隊中為密接空中支援戰機提供末端引導。

澳大利亞

澳大利亞的戰術空中管制員隸屬於澳大利亞皇家空軍，主要負責協調空中力量支援地面部隊。^[1]

英國

在英國軍隊中，戰術空中管制組的人員可能來自於皇家海軍陸戰隊，^[2]英國陸軍或英國皇家空軍團。^[3]每個戰術空中管制組都有四名成員：一名軍官、一名前線空中管制員（FAC）和兩名信號官（JNCO）。前線空中管制員主要使用一系列通訊設備向飛行員提供具體坐標，從而引導戰機為地面部隊提供火力支援。

在第二次世界大戰中，「空軍聯絡官」是英國皇家空軍主要派駐在英國軍隊或外國軍隊中的士官，以建立各部門間與皇家空軍的聯繫。^[4]

薩塞克斯公爵哈里王子曾在阿富汗擔任過TACP指揮官。^[5]^[6]

英國軍方的前進空中管制員和戰術空中管制員均在聯合前進空軍管制員訓練標準化中心（JFACTSU）接受培訓。^[7]

美國

美國空軍戰術空中管制組

美國空軍戰術空中管制員通常併入常規美國陸軍作戰單位或特種作戰單位（包括美國陸軍特種部隊（ODA）、第75遊騎兵團、包括團屬偵察連、美國海軍海豹突擊隊、聯合特種作戰司令部以及其他特種任務部隊中，主要負責向地面指揮官提供空中力量使用建議，建立並維持空中指揮與空中管制通信，並為美軍或聯軍固定密接空中支援戰機，地面火炮和海軍炮火提供精確的末端攻擊引導。

海軍陸戰隊前線空中管制員

每個美國海軍陸戰隊步兵營都部署了一名前線空中管制員（FAC），前線空中管制員主要選拔自海軍陸戰隊航空兵或海軍航空兵，主要負責戰鬥機/攻擊機/攻擊直升機與步兵營之間的聯絡。除此之外還有另外兩名前線空中管制員和三名聯合終端攻擊控制員部署在步兵營中。理想情況下，三名前線空中管制員擁有三種不同的駕駛技能：一名戰術噴射機飛行員或海軍飛行員（F/A-18或AV-8B）、一名戰術直升機飛行員（AH-1W或UH-1Y）和一名突擊支援飛行員（CH-53K、KC-130J或MV-22）。而三名聯合終端攻擊控制員也會來自海軍陸戰隊或陸軍炮兵單位.

除了三名前線空中管制員和三名聯合終端攻擊控制員外，每個海軍陸戰隊步兵營還擁有八名聯合火力觀察員（JFO）部署在步兵連間。
