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]
