It depends on their job. If you are talking about the guys on the ground, they are called Special Tactics Airmen. The specific jobs for them are Combat Controllers, TACPs, and Pararescuemen. All Combat Control Teams are AFSOC units. Only one TACP unit is with SOCOM - 17th Air Support. The rest belong to Air Combat Command, or ACC. Pararescuemen, or PJs, deal with personnel recovery and MEDEVACs. They are placed in either the Rescue Squadrons under ACC or the Special Tactics Squadrons under AFSOC. Some PJs and CCTs are also with JSOC as part of 24th Special Tactics.

It depends on what you want to do. CCTs act as pathfinders, in the sense that they create forward airfields and coordinate aircraft within a combat zone. In a bind, CCTs can call in close air support, but that's not their primary job. TACPs/JTACs call airstrikes for ground combat units. All CCTs are AF Special Operations personnel. Only one TACP unit, the 17th Air Support Operations Squadron, is an AFSOC asset. The rest belong to Air Combat Command.
