Tactical Air Control Squadron (TACRON) TWELVE is based out of Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, CA. The mission of TACRON is to provide air control for amphibious readiness groups (ARGs) and their embarked Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU). They do this aboard LHD/LHAs from the Tactical Air Control Center (TACC) and ashore.^[1] This includes active and procedural control of airspace around the ARG, providing air defense via airspace monitoring, and integrating into all aspects of amphibious air operations to include planning functions.^[2] These missions are accomplished by personnel from multiple rates to include Air Traffic Controllers (ACs), Operations Specialists (OSs), Intelligence Specialists (ISs), Information Technology Specialists (ITs), and Naval Aviation Officers.^[2]^[1]

TACRON TWELVE deploys to the 7th Fleet in support of Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) amphibious ships out of Sasebo, Japan.^[1]

History

TACRON initially started out as Air Support Control Units during the US Navy's Pacific island hopping campaign and were re-designated as Tactical Air Control Squadrons in 1946.^[1]
