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)[reply]
