- While not calling for an entirely new JADC2 career field, Anderson recommends establishing a Joint Pathway for Advanced JTAC Specialization, conceptually similar to Weapons School. These highly specialized controllers would focus on distributed fires integration, AI-enabled targeting, spectrum maneuver, and kill-chain orchestration, serving as integration leads to bridge the gap between emerging technology and tactical employment.
