From Black Rifle Coffee Company:

Explore the gripping, untold history of the U.S. Air Force TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) and the evolution of the modern JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller). From the devastating lessons of World War II to the intense firefights of Iraq and Afghanistan, this documentary reveals the story of the elite airmen embedded with ground forces to call in decisive air power when it matters most.

Hear incredible firsthand accounts from the veterans who lived it. Journey from the origins of close air support (CAS) at Kasserine Pass and the "Rover Joe" system to the invaluable role of ROMADs in the jungles of Vietnam. Witness the TACP's trial-by-fire in Grenada and Panama during Operation Just Cause, and understand how the Gulf War and Operation Anaconda proved the necessity of the enlisted JTAC. This is the story of brotherhood, sacrifice, and the relentless innovation that created one of the most critical roles on the modern battlefield—the operator on the ground who says "cleared hot."
