The Joint Forward Air Control Training and Standardisation Unit (JFACTSU) is a training unit located at RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire, England. The unit teaches students from across all three services of the British Armed Forces (and international allies) to become Forward Air Controllers (FACs). Forward Air Controllers, working from a forward position on the ground, or in the air, direct the fire of combat aircraft that are engaged in close air support of land forces.
