"TAC" stands for "Training, Advising and Counseling", and TAC officers oversee the instruction, development and evaluation of cadets or candidates undergoing military training. TAC officers were used at a number of military training facilities, including the United States Military Academy (USMA), The United States Air Force Auxiliary Cadet Program (Civil Air Patrol), and the Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS).
