Afghan Tactical Air Controllers call-in an air strike at a training range near Kabul, Afghanistan, March 27, 2016, while a Train, Advise, Assist Command-Air (TAAC-Air) Czech Republic air advisor assists from the rear. The Afghan National Army and Afghan Air Force coordinated live-fire training for A-29 Super Tucano and MD-530 “Jengi” attack aircraft. The ATACs coordinate requests for air casualty evacuation, close air support, aerial resupply and airlift. They also deconflict air-to-ground fires from ground-to-ground fires for ANA operations.
