Which of the following is a FiST member?

A Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) is the FiST member because a Fire Support Team coordinates and directs fires, including calling in and controlling close air support. The JTAC’s role is to communicate with aircraft, identify targets, and ensure air strikes are delivered safely and effectively in support of the ground unit—exactly what a FiST does. The other roles—Air Defense Officer, Logistics Officer, and Chaplain—do not specialize in directing or coordinating air-delivered fires or terminal attack control, so they don’t fit as a FiST member.
