Is used when the JTAC must visually acquire the aircraft and the target for each attack.
Type 2 TAC
Is used when the JTAC requires control of individual attacks and any or all of the following conditions apply: JTAC is unable to visually acquire aircraft at weapons release, JTAC is unable to visually acquire target, and/or the attacking aircraft is unable to acquire the mark/target prior to weapons release.
Type 3 TAC
Is used when the JTAC requires the ability to provide clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement subject to specific attack restrictions, and any or all of the conditions exist: JTAC is unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release; JTAC is unable to visually acquire the target; and/or the attacking aircraft is unable to acquire the mark/target prior to weapons release.

EMCON level 1
The most restrictive condition and is used when a serious electronic warfare support measure (ESM) threat exists. Electronic emissions are prohibited, to include radios, DME and IFF/SIF except modes 4/5 in theater. Radar altimeters are aloud if required by NATOPS for safety of flight. Take-offs and landings will use EMCON procedures. Comms with controlling agencies shall be made by ground observers or air boss via land line to report departure times and numbers. During training evolutions radio comms are permitted for safety of flight items only.
EMCON level 2
The majority of tactical missions are flown under this condition. A serious ESM threat exists; take-offs and landings will use min comm procedures. Operate radios at a bare minimum and use brevity codes to reduce transmission time. All other emitters may be used.
ENCON level 3
ESM threat is negligible, as compared to the fire power threat to survival. ONly essential radio transmission will be made and aircraft emitters will be used as required.
