Hello everyone,
I'd like to ask about the meaning of the word "tap" in the following sentence:

Henry nodded to Lipinski and Opahle, and the two lieutenants each tapped two sniper teams.

Possibly they each selected two sniper teams.

I think "tap" means "select" here. Sort of like tapping them on the shoulder.
