1971/09 - Tactical Air Support Command

1971

Inaugurated in 1990, the Tactical Air Support Command (TASC) integrates all three SAF services for complex tactical air support and joint operations.

Tactical Air Support Command (TASC) was inaugurated in 1990 and had its origins in the Tactical Support Wing. With the increase in complexity, scale, and scope of tactical air support over the decades, the SAF saw the need to integrate all three Services during strike missions. Tasks such as air reconnaissance, transportation, support, intelligence gathering, and troop lifting were later included in joint operations.
