How much do jtac jobs pay per hour?
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Jtac position, and why are they important?
To thrive as a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller), you need in-depth knowledge of military tactics, strong situational awareness, and completion of formal JTAC certification programs. Competence with communications equipment, targeting systems, mapping software, and laser designation devices is essential. The ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate precisely, and make quick decisions are crucial soft skills for success. These abilities are vital because the role requires directing combat aircraft and coordinating fire support to protect ground forces while minimizing risks.
What is a JTAC job?
A Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) is a military specialist responsible for directing airstrikes in support of ground forces. They coordinate with pilots, ground commanders, and artillery units to ensure accurate and effective use of close air support. JTACs must be highly trained in communication, targeting, and battlefield strategy to minimize risks to friendly forces and civilians. Their role is critical in modern warfare, providing real-time targeting and situational awareness to enhance mission success.
What are the typical daily responsibilities of a JTAC and how does this role interact with other team members?
A JTAC’s daily responsibilities involve planning and coordinating air support missions, communicating directly with pilots, and ensuring the accurate delivery of ordnance to support ground troops. They routinely collaborate with ground commanders, unit leaders, and other fire support personnel to synchronize operations and maintain mission safety. The role often requires working in high-pressure, dynamic environments where teamwork, attention to detail, and effective communication are critical. JTACs may also assist in pre-mission briefings, post-mission analysis, and continuous training to maintain proficiency and readiness.

Job description
LMR Technical Group (LMR) is seeking a JTAC Simulator Operator to join our team.
Location: Hurlburt Field, FL
Job Description:
The Simulator Operator is responsible for operating, supporting, and sustaining JTAC simulation capabilities that directly enable AFSOC training and readiness. This is a mission-facing operations and training role, not a generic IT support position. The Simulator Operator must be able to operate all aspects of currently fielded JTAC simulator systems, support instruction across the training continuum, develop and maintain squadron CAS simulator scenarios, support LVC and DMO events, and conduct basic troubleshooting and maintenance actions required to keep systems mission capable.
This position supports the AFSOC JTAC program by combining technical simulator proficiency with a working understanding of JTAC operations and training outcomes. The Simulator Operator is expected to help enable IQT, MQT, CT, and upgrade training while ensuring simulators remain functional, current, and aligned with supported unit needs. The role includes accomplishing minor software updates, loading databases, creating scenarios, replacing line replaceable units, running scripted software or queries, documenting issues, and notifying the service company and Government leadership of simulator deficiencies within required timelines. The position also supports broader JTAC duties identified in the PWS and may participate in functional meetings, focus groups, and JTAC SIMCERT-related working groups.
The successful candidate must be able to transition quickly into the supported unit, complete required certification and proficiency milestones, and operate in a controlled military environment with strong attention to security, accountability, and mission effect. The Simulator Operator must complete IAT Level I certification within the required timeframe, attain proficiency with the assigned simulator, and adhere to the JTAC-Instructor requalification timeline identified in the PWS.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Operate JTAC simulator systems, including currently fielded platforms such as JTC-TRS, DT-100, HAVIC, and newly fielded accredited JTAC simulators.
- Support JTAC instruction across IQT, MQT, CT, and upgrade training events.
- Implement unit-provided simulator scenarios and develop and maintain squadron CAS simulator scenarios.
- Conduct minor software updates, load databases, run scripts or queries, and replace line replaceable units as directed.
- Perform basic troubleshooting when simulator systems malfunction.
- Document and report simulator issues to the simulator service company and Government leadership within 72 hours of discovery.
- Support LVC and DMO training and exercises as required by the supported unit.
- Provide JTAC, JTAC-Instructor, and JTAC-Evaluator-related support as required by the PWS.
- Maintain simulator status inputs and utilization data for monthly reporting.
- Comply with security, OPSEC, safety, and unit access requirements at all times.
- Other related duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications:
- Current (or ability to obtain and maintain) Secret security clearance (T3 background investigation). Please visit the following link for more information:https://www.dcsa.mil/Personnel-Security/Background-Investigations-for-Applicants/Investigations-Clearance-Process/.
- U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a Secret clearance and work in this position.
- Must meet the Appendix 1 role-specific qualification requirement for Simulator Operator: BSO, JTAC-I.
- Must have or have held a JTAC-I qualification rating.
- Experience operating or supporting military simulator systems, tactical training devices, or comparable mission systems in an operational training environment.
- Ability to complete IAT Level I certification within 6 months of completing baseline certification and assumption of duties, and attain proficiency with the current simulator within an additional 60 days.
- Working knowledge of U.S. military command and control structures.
- Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English.
- Ability to obtain and maintain all security requirements identified in the DD-254 for the supported site.
- Valid civilian driver's license and ability to qualify for a military driver's license for supported vehicles and equipment.
- Demonstrated land navigation and map and compass skills using latitude/longitude and UTM coordinates.
- Ability to work independently in a mission-driven environment while coordinating closely with unit leadership and instructors.
- Must pass an initial required drug screening and comply with random drug testing requirements.
- This position requires the successful completion of a pre-employment medical physical and/or health screening to ensure the candidate is able to safely perform the essential duties of the role. Continued employment may be contingent upon maintaining the physical and medical standards necessary for job performance, in accordance with applicable laws and organizational policies.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Desired Qualifications:
- Current, active Secret or Top-Secret security clearance.
- Prior JTAC simulator operations experience on JTC-TRS, DT-100, HAVIC, or similar systems.
- Prior SOF, AFSOC, TACP, or Special Tactics support experience.
- Experience with scenario development for CAS or tactical training events.
- Experience with DMO, LVC, or networked training environments.
- Familiarity with SIMCERT processes, functional working groups, or tactical training systems support.
