Air Force TACP = Tactical Air Control Party
I often get asked about the
Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) and Joint Terminal Attack Controller
(JTAC) of the Air Force Special Operations Command as well as other
branch combat communicators. We, at
StewSmith.com Fitness, do not have a specific workout program
for TACP, but after researching TACP and training a few TACP candidates
through the Heroes of
Tomorrow program, here are the recommendations we have
developed:
(from
AFSOC Website)
A
Tactical Air Control Party, commonly abbreviated TACP, is usually a
team of two or more United States Air Force Tactical Air Controllers.
They sometimes include an Air Liaison Officer, which is
assigned to a U.S. Army combat maneuver unit. TACPs advise
ground commanders on the best use of air
power. They also establish and maintain
command and control communications, control air traffic and naval
gunfire and provide precision terminal attack guidance of U.S.
and coalition close air support .
TACP members are assigned to all conventional Army combat
units and to various other units such as Special Forces, Navy
SEALs and the Army Rangers.
TACP Motto: ADVISE, ASSIST, CONTROL
TACP Physical Fitness Requirements
All candidates must meet the following minimum
standards: |
Recommended PAST Scores Run 1.5 mile: 9-10 minutes
Pullups: 15+
Ruck with 35-50lbs minimum pace of 4 mph or 15 min mile goal 12-13 min mile pace
|
Some
of the best workouts to prepare for these type of requirements and
recommended PAST scores are the link ideas above. One option
if you are just starting out on your fitness journey and need to up
your scores on the PAST - try this ebook
The PFT Bible - Military PFT - Pullups, pushups, situps, 1.5 mile run
workouts
Once
you ace the PAST and are now preparing for the TACP training, I would
recommend a tougher program such as the
Army Ranger / SF Workout as it is loaded with PT, weights,
core, running and rucking.
If you are using a program like the ones featured on the StewSmith.com Fitness Store continue and add this supplemental program to your training. If you are not on a program, you can try to add this with a one of the free running programs to help your PFT running.

Thanks for the emails – they really do inspire me to develop articles, so keep them coming at stew@stewsmith.com. This workout is an opinion of the author and should you proceed with this plan or any derivation, you do so at your own risk and should be cautious.
Good luck with your nutrition / performance fitness program and I hope you see improvement soon. Workouts can be easily obtained at the StewSmith.com Fitness Ebook Store. Send me an email and I may post it up as an article next week. You can contact me at stew@stewsmith.com.
Feel free to email me if you have any questions at stew@stewsmith.com
TRX Workouts - This is a great device to use if you are failing at pushups and pullups. The TRX rows will help you build your chest, shoulders, triceps and bicep / back muscles like a set of weights, but also work the core at the same time.
