The TANAMI program has been studying the physics of relativistic jets of gamma-ray emitting AGN since November 2007 and was converted to a 5-year Large Proposal from Oct 2009. We propose to continue VLBI monitoring of these sources contemporaneously with observations at gamma-ray frequencies by the Fermi satellite which is continuously monitoring the full sky for the next 5 to 10 years. TANAMI has met all goals of its first 2.5 years, in particular by producing high-quality dual-frequency images and setting up a baseline for morphological and kinematic studies of Southern-Hemisphere gamma-ray sources/candidates. With its associated optical/UV and X-ray programs and its unique VLBI dual-frequency characteristics, TANAMI has become one of the major multiwavelength resources for the Fermi mission and the only one covering sources south of -30 degrees. The continuation of our program will establish critical jet parameters, including speeds and Doppler factors, which all depend on multi-year VLBI data. Tracking new jet components and associating their ejection epochs with gamma-ray flares will be possible and promises to pin down the origin and nature of the elusive high energy emission from AGN.
