Afghanistan. A US Marine position is being attacked by Taliban.

Marine (grabbing the radio) : ! We need air support !
AIR TAC COMMANDER / This is Saxon 4-3. Sit tight. We are on the way

Does tac refer to "Tactical Air Command" ?

I queried a friend who is quite well versed in military aviation.

His response:

No. Tactical Air Command went out of existence in 1991. In this case TAC is simply shorthand for the dictionary word tactical.​
