JTAC Hill ("Joint Tactical Air Co-ordination" Hill) was a British Armed Forces installation in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
JTAC Hill was originally built in 1841 by the Royal Engineers for the tactical defence of British India. It was later strengthened and used as a strategic base during the War in Afghanistan, serving as a point for forward air controllers to guide and coordinate military aircraft in the region. JTAC Hill served as the southernmost British stronghold in Helmand Province, almost 100 miles south of the main British base, Camp Bastion, and just forty miles north of the frontier with Pakistan.
Following the British withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014, the fate of JTAC Hill was left unknown, though it was likely decommissioned. As of the collapse of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan following the Taliban's offensive and takeover in 2021, JTAC Hill is believed to no longer exist.
