Greetings, gentlemen. I'll cut straight to the chase.
On a several year old thread on ArmyRanger.com (not sure if I'm allowed to link it), a TACP raised some concerns he had over the future of the TACP career field. He stated that with technological advancements, TACPs are moving more towards JTACing digitally from a TOC.
On other forums, TACPs have raised concerns that they are lacking in tactical skills, with commanders saying they are controllers, and don't need to focus on tactical skills.
If this information is valid, I would be concerned about pursuing this career. My understanding was that TACPs are directly embedded/attached with the Army unit they are supporting.
Is this not the case anymore? Are TACPs moving away from the battlefield and more into a command post type operating environment? Thank you all for taking the time to help me with this matter.
