227th ASOS multinational TACP team trains with USAF F-16C and F-35A

German armed forces Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC) made a second visit to the 227th Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS) this year to train with their U.S. Air Force counterparts Oct. 25-28, 2016.

The NATO partners once again benefited from: the New Jersey Air National Guard ASOS unit's state of the art $1.2 million Air National Guard Advanced JTAC Training System, its co-location with the F-16 pilots and aircraft of the 119th Fighter Squadron, and the live combat air support (CAS) training available at the 177th Fighter Wing's Det. 1 Warren Grove Bombing Range (WGR).
