JTAC - Instructor (JTAC - I)

Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Instructor

LMR Technical Group (LMR) is seeking a JTAC Instructor to join our team.

Location: Fort Benning, GA

The JTAC Instructor is responsible for delivering full-spectrum Joint Terminal Attack Control instruction and operational mission support in support of AFSOC and associated geographically separated units. This position is not a classroom-only training role. It is a field-executing operational instructor position that supports live, virtual, and constructive training environments and helps produce and sustain combat mission ready JTACs, instructors, and evaluators. The role directly supports AFSOC requirements for Initial Qualification Training, Mission Qualification Training, Continuation Training, Requalification Training, simulator-supported instruction, mission execution support, records management, and program continuity.

The JTAC Instructor will provide instruction to JTAC trainees, JTACs, JTAC-Is, and JTAC-Es in accordance with governing directives and unit guidance. The individual will support live Close Air Support operations, simulator-based instruction, Live Virtual Constructive events, and associated range activities. The position also includes mission-related responsibilities tied to malfunction, accident, and incident response, training documentation, and advice and assistance to unit JTAC Program Managers and JTAC Evaluator Program Managers. This role requires a professional who can operate credibly inside an AFSOC training environment, maintain currency, integrate with military leadership, and perform safely and effectively under dynamic operational conditions.

The successful candidate will be expected to complete all required in-processing and assumption-of-duty requirements within the contract timelines, including establishing an SRMS account, uploading prior JTAC documentation and logged controls, completing required anti-terrorism training, and beginning requalification within the required window when applicable.
