Oct. 18, 2023 | 3:13
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas – The Special Warfare Training Wing hosted Lightning Challenge 2023, an annual, service-level Tactical Air Control Party competition to identify the best TACP Airmen in the Air Force Oct. 18, 2023 at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland and Joint Base San Antonio-Camp Bullis. TACP Airmen have long been the lead precision strike experts for the Air Force, integrating Airpower with ground force movements to identify, track, target and engage enemy forces near friendly forces to achieve all-domain superiority in combat. The annual Lightning Challenge tests TACP Airmen through competition in agile combat employment, physical fitness, and marksmanship to identify the best and most multi-capable Airmen in the world, prepared to fight and win on the all-domain battlefields of the future.
