PREFACE

Efficient planning, coordination, and execution of air support to United States (US) Army forces (ARFOR) groundoperations is essential to overall success of the ARFOR mission. This manual describes the role of the battlefieldcoordination detachment (BCD) as the ARFOR commander’s vital link between ARFOR ground operations and the jointforce air component commander’s (JFACC) air operations. The BCD facilitates the synchronization of air and groundoperations in the following areas:

Air interdiction (AI).

Air reconnaissance.

Close air support (CAS).

Electronic warfare (EW).

Theater airlift.

Reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance and target acquisition (RISTA).

Army airspace command and control (A2C2).

Air and missile defense.

The concept for this organization originated in 1980. It was required in Europe to deal with the capability of SovietUnion at that time to attack in successive echelons, overwhelming the ground defense. The US doctrine of deepoperations was aimed at attacking the Soviet array in depth to disrupt their synchronization and, therefore, diminish theireffectiveness. The success of US deep operations required close and continuous coordination between the aircomponent commander (ACC) and the land component commander (LCC). The result of this deep operations doctrinewas creation of the battlefield coordination element (BCE). The BCE was an Army liaison team that operated in theUnited States Air Force (USAF) tactical air control center (TACC) for continuous coordination and exchange ofinformation. The TACC is now called the air operations center (AOC). The BCE name was changed to battlefieldcoordination detachment (BCD) with the writing of this’ manual to conform to Army force structure designations.

The Memorandum ofAgreement Between the United States Air Force and the United States Army for Army/Air ForceLiaison Support, dated 1 Nov 95, states:

The U.S. Army will field a robust battlefield coordination element (BCE) (or theater equivalent) to USAF air operationscenters (or theater equivalent). The BCE will effectively integrate US Army operational requirements into the airtasking order (ATO) development process. BCEs should participate as often as possible in exercises with appropriateUSAF organizations to maintain combat mission readiness.

Note: As stated the BCE is now replaced by the BCD.

This manual describes the mission, role, organization, and operations of the BCD. Also provided are:

CHAPTER 1THE BCD MISSION AND ROLE IN OPERATIONS

The current BCD configuration supports the battlefieldfunctions of the ARFOR commander. The definition of the BCDin Joint Pub 1-02 recognizes that the ARFOR BCD may establish liaison with the AOC of any service component.

(The BCD is) an Army liaison provided by the Army component commander to the air operations center(AOC) and/or to the component designated by the joint force commander to plan, coordinate, anddeconflict air operations. The (BCD) processes Army requests for tactical air support, monitors andinterprets the land battle situation for the JAOC*, and provides the necessary interface for exchange ofcurrent intelligence and operational data. (JP 1-02)

*joint air operations center

Section I. MISSION AND ROLE OF THE BCD

BCD Mission

Close coordination between the Army forcecommander (COMARFOR) and the JFACC is requiredto achieve the Army functional responsibility ofsynchronizing maneuver, fires, and interdiction in theARFOR area of operations (AO). The BCD mission isto establish the ARFOR liaison and interface with theJFACC. The BCD eases the coordination andsynchronization of JFACC air and ARFOR groundoperations. The BCD mission is performed byaccomplishing the following:

Exchanging operational and intelligencedata between the JFACC andCOMARFOR.

BCD interpretation of the land battlesituation for the JFACC and the airoperations situation for theCOMARFOR.

The BCD operates on a 24-hour a day basis.

BCD Basis of Allocation

The BCD basis of allocation is one per Army servicecomponent commander (ASCC) based on requirementsapproved by DA. The BCD may support the ASCC orbe tailored to support a corps or division commander’soperations. Normally, the BCD is assigned to theASCC and further attached to the senior operationalARFOR headquarters.

The controlling headquarters instructs the BCD tocollocate with the JFACC’S operations center, called thejoint air operations center (JAOC). The JAOC will behosted by one of the following:

AOC when the JFACC is provided bythe USAF.

Tactical air control center (United StatesNavy [USN] TACC) when the JFACC isprovided by the USN

Tactical air command center (MarineTACC) when the JFACC is provided bythe Marine Corps.

BCD Role In Support of Corps Operations

A single ASCC or ARFOR may be composed ofseveral corps. It is possible for the controlling ARFORto be designated as the joint force land componentcommander (JFLCC), or as the joint force commander(JFC). In either case, the BCD singly represents theARFOR interests of the JFLCC. Other services orfunctional components normally provide their ownliaisons to the JFACC and to the JFLCC as appropriate.For example, all of the following might provide liaison:

Special operations liaison element(SOLE).

Marine liaison officer (MARLO).

USN air and/or Naval liaison element(NALE).

1-1

FM 100-13

In a multicorps environment, each corps normally supports the corps headquarters and collocates with theprovides liaison to the echelon above corps (EAC) JAOC. In the event a corps or subordinate organizationheadquarters. This liaison speeds the flow of conducts concurrent contingency operations, the ASCCinformation received from the BCD and is of interest to tailors the BCD to support the requirements of thethe corps staff. In a single corps operation in which the deployed headquarters.corps commander is the COMARFOR, the BCD

Section II. BCD FUNCTIONS

General

As the ARFOR commander’s representative in theJAOC, the BCD ensures the JFACC is aware of thefollowing:

The COMARFOR’s intent.

Scheme of maneuver.

Concept for application of ground,naval, and air assets in the ARFOR AO.

The BCD monitors and interprets the land battle for theJFACC staff. It passes ARFOR operational data andoperational support requirements from theCOMARFOR to the JFACC and participatingmultinational forces to include the following:

CAS.

AI.

Manned and unmanned reconnaissanceand surveillance.

Joint suppression of enemy air defense(JSEAD).

The BCD also communicates the COMARFOR’sdecisions and interests to the JFACC.

The BCD does not participate directly in the ARFORcommand estimate or decision-making process. TheBCD does supply information regarding all thebattlefield operating systems and functions to ARFORstaff elements during the process. The COMARFORmay delegate decision-making authority for specificevents or situations to the BCD commander. This

authority speeds action on various functions supportingthe commander’s plan and must be clearly defined bythe COMARFOR. The BCD eases planning,coordination, and execution of the following functions:

Battle command.

Intelligence.

Firepower means.

Airspace management.

Air defense.

Theater missile defense (TMD).

Command and control warfare (C2W).

Airlift support.

Battle Command

Battle command is the art of decision making,leadership, and of motivating soldiers and theirorganizations to accomplish the mission. It includesvisualizing and formulating concepts of operations toget from the current to the desired situation at the leastcost. Battle command also includes the following:

Assigning missions.

Prioritizing and allocating resources.

Selecting the critical time and place toact.

Knowing how and when to makeadjustments during the fight.

The primary role of the BCD is to support theCOMARFOR’s ability to conduct battle command. Thepersonnel in the BCD must understand what

1-2

FM 100-13

information the commander deems important inmaking decisions and get it to him in a timely fashion.The BCD supports battle command by providing timelyand accurate input to the COMARFOR decision-making process and by assisting the COMARFOR staffduring execution. Commanders must understand thebattle from the perspective of both the supported andsupporting commanders. This thorough understandingof intent promotes unity of effort.

Communication is the bridge that links information todecisions and decisions to actions. The BCD is in aunique position to support the COMARFOR’scommunication needs by locating in close proximity toliaison teams of all the separate componentcommanders.

Intelligence

The exchange of intelligence among components is keyto both current and future operations. The fusioncenter for component-level intelligence is the jointintelligence center (JIC). Most intelligence is availableto the JFACC through the JIC. The joint andcomponent collection management staffs give routineintelligence reports directly to the JAOC.

The BCD articulates the COMARFOR’s commander’scritical information requirements (CCIR) and priorityintelligence requirements (PIR) to the JFACC. TheBCD identifies and speeds current CCIR and PIRintelligence from JFACC intelligence sources to theCOMARFOR intelligence staff. The BCDcommunicates intelligence and information derivedfrom the CCIR and PIR to the COMARFOR analysisand control element (ACE). The BCD provides to theJFACC intelligence staff the following:

Information on the enemy order ofbattle.

Time sensitive Army intelligencereports.

Requirements for manned andunmanned reconnaissance, surveillance,and collection.

The BCD assists the JFACC staff in target developmentand integration of COMARFOR target nominations

into the ATO. The BCD gets the most currentinformation from ARFOR intelligence to help refineand validate targets for attack during execution of theATO.

The BCD also exchanges information to supportcombat assessment. The BCD intelligence functionsupports ARFOR needs to do the following:

Assess the effectiveness of currentoperations.

Modify current plans.

Plan future operations.

Firepower Means

The BCD presents the ARFOR commander’s targetingrequirements for preplanned CAS and AI to theJFACC. The BCD also passes JFACC requests for allARFOR supporting fires to the ARFOR tacticaloperations center (TOC) or firing unit as directed in theARFOR fire support plan. The BCD ensures that theJFACC staff is aware of current and planned ARFORfire support operations, including confirmation ofassociated coordination and control measures.

The BCD eases synchronization of the JFACC’s AIoperation with ARFOR deep operations plans. TheJFACC and COMARFOR discuss requirements for AIsupport to ARFOR operations typically during the jointtargeting coordination board (JTCB) meeting. Afterthe discussion, the BCD helps the JFACC staff identifytargets when the COMARFOR gives “mission type”objectives for AI.

The BCD monitors execution of the ATO and passesinformation about the current air situation to theCOMARFOR. The BCD passes information throughthe COMARFOR staff to commanders affected byJFACC attack of targets beyond the fire supportcoordination line (FSCL). This lets air and groundforces take positive actions to avoid fratricide andduplication of effort.

The BCD works closely with the JAOC to synchronize

1-3

FM 100-13

AI missions with Army deep strike assets on the mostlucrative targets. The BCD performs supporting tasksassigned by the COMARFOR to plan, coordinate, andexecute lethal and nonlethal joint firepower.

The JFC may direct the integration of planned ARFORairspace operations into the ATO. The BCD eases theintegration of the systems into the ATO and helps trackexecution of their missions.

Airspace Management

The BCD coordinates ARFOR airspace managementneeds with the JAOC. These needs reflectrequirements for use of airspace throughout theARFOR AO by the following:

ARFOR fixed- and rotary- wingedaircraft.

Reconnaissance and surveillanceplatforms such as unmanned aerialvehicles (UAV).

Indirect fire trajectories.

The BCD coordinates ARFOR requests for airspacecontrol measures (ACM) with the airspace controlauthority (ACA). When the JFC designates the JFACCas ACA, the coordination occurs at the JAOC. Whenthe JFACC is not the ACA, the ARFOR commandermust provide other liaison and communications meansto the designated ACA.

The BCD passes information to the ARFOR regardingJFACC air operations within the ARFOR AO. On thebasis of information from the SOLE, the BCD monitorsthe location of special operations forces (SOF). Themonitoring includes long-range surveillance units(LRSUs), operating in the ARFOR AO to help reducefratricide and/or interference with their specialoperations missions.

The BCD also coordinates the use of airspace byground-based fire support systems, especially rocketsand missiles, with other airspace users. TheCOMARFOR is responsible for establishing ACM andfire support coordination measures (FSCM) to bothfacilitate fires and protect other airspace users. The

BCD coordinates these measures with the JFACC staffto ensure they are included in the airspace control order(ACO).

Air Defense

The area air defense commander (AADC) is normallythe component commander with the best air defensecapability and the command, control, communications,and intelligence (C3I) capability for planning andexecuting integrated air defense operations. TheJFACC may be designated the joint force area airdefense commander (AADC). The BCD easescoordination between ARFOR air and missile defenseoperations and the JFACC staff when the JFACC isalso the AADC. The BCD helps the JFACC staffintegrate JFACC defensive counterair operations withground air defense systems. This BCD function is keyto effective air defense and to precluding fratricide.

Theater Missile Defense

The term “theater missile defense” applies to theidentification, integration, and employment offorcessupported by other theater and national capabilities, todetect, identify, locate, track minimize the effects of,and/or destroy emeny theater missiles (TM). Thisincludes the destruction of TM on the ground and inflight, their ground based launchers and supportinginfrastructure; TM capable ships and vessels in port orat sea; and enemy aircraft armed with air to surfacemissiles. TMD operations are accomplished byintegrating a mix of mutually supporting passivedefense, active defense, and C4I* measures. (JP 3-01.5)

*C4I=command, control, communications, computers,and intelligence

TMD is a joint mission, integrated into and in supportof the JFC’s overall concept of operation and campaignobjectives. The JFC establishes guidance andobjectives for joint-TMD (JTMD).

The ARFOR TOC theater missile defense cell, ifformed, plans and coordinates TMD operations for theARFOR. The TMD cell gives direct early warning toARFOR air defense units as appropriate. TheCOMARFOR specifies the role of the BCD to help incoordination of TMD active defense and attackoperations with the JAOC.

1-4

FM 100-13

The BCD may be the first ARFOR agency aware of thepresence of a TMD target through sources at the JAOC.In this case, the BCD helps coordinate the rapid attackof TMD targets by the most efficient means available.With regard to TMD the BCD does the following:

Speeds target confirmation.

Deconflicts airspace.

Provides early warning to friendly airdefense artillery (ADA) headquarters.

Directs Army tactical missile system(ATACMS) and multiple launch rocketsystem (MLRS) missions against TMDtargets (when authorized).

Command and Control Warfare

Command and control warfare is a two pronged effort.The first is to deny information to, influence, degradeor destroy adversary command and control (C2)capabilities by the integrated use of the following:

Operations security (OPSEC).

Military deception.

Psychological operations (PSYOPS).

EW.

Physical destruction.

Intelligence.

The second element of C2W is to protect friendly C2

capabilities against such actions. C* W applies acrossthe full range of military operations and all levels ofwar. C2W includes C2 attack of adversary and C2

protection of friendly force C* capabilities.

The BCD helps the ARFOR coordinate andsynchronize actions taken to accomplish establishedobjectives that prevent the effective C2 of adversaryforces. These actions include denying information toand influencing, degrading or destroying the adversaryC* system. In addition, the BCD helps the ARFORcoordinate and synchronize actions taken and supportrequested from the JFACC to maintain effective C2 offriendly forces.

The ARFOR TOC C2W cell identifies specific C2Wsupporting requirements for action by various agencies,including the JFACC. The BCD coordinates ARFORC2W support requests with the JFACC.

Airlift Support

The BCD coordinates COMARFOR requests throughthe JFACC airlift coordination cell (ALCC) with thejoint movements center (JMC). The JMC “works” therequirements with the J4 and approves or disapprovesairlift requests on the basis of priorities and availableairlift. The BCD also informs the JFACC staff of theenemy and friendly situations’ impact on COMARFORairlift requirements. The BCD helps predict futureairlift requirements based on COMARFOR plans.

BCD Relationship to Ground Liaison Officers

The GLOs are US Army personnel who conduct liaisonwith USAF numbered air force (NAF), fighter, theaterair control, RECCE, and airlift units. They advise aircommanders primarily on Army organization,operations, tactics, and equipment. They help thecommander by coordinating with Army units duringjoint operations.

The US Army aligns GLOs to designated USAF NAFwing and squadron headquarters. The GLOs arepermanently stationed with the USAF unit and functionas a special staff element in the unit headquarters. TheNAF GLO acts as the senior Army officer in therespective NAF structure. The NAF GLO helps theBCD in coordinating the operational, administrative,and logistical issues with the USAF headquarters thatthe BCD will support before a deployment on any typeof operation. The GLOs assigned to the NAF maybeunder the operational control of the BCD commander.

A GLO may also represent the COMARFOR and/orsubordinate commander aboard the airborne battlefieldcommand and control center (ABCCC). The liaisonbetween the ABCCC, BCD, and ground maneuverforces is key to good CAS management. The ABCCCcan provide accurate and timely BDA to all services viathe liaison network in the JAOC. The BCDcommander must ensure the liaison requirement forABCCC be provided as soon as possible whendeployed to the area of responsibility (AOR).

Per memorandum of agreement (see references), theUSAF host unit includes the GLO on mobilityrequirements and provides needed items oforganizational equipment, to include individualweapons. The GLOs deploy with their USAF unitduring combat contingencies. They will be listed onunit time-phased force deployment lists. The GLOperforms the following duties:

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

In 1994, operational deployments to Haiti emphasized fixed- and rotary- winged airlift. The operations requiredmeticulous coordination and identification of all aircraft on the ATO, including Army helicopters. The extensiveairspace management challenge required augmentation from the XVIII Airborne Corps aviation brigade airoperations staff officers to the 1st BCD plans section. Also, 1st Battalion, 58th aviation regiment (ATS) (Corps)provided external augmentation of senior NCOs in military occupational speciality 93C to the airspace managementsection.

Augmentation needs must be identified during deployment planning and updated as necessary by the ARFORcommander’s staff.

Chapter 3BCD OPERATIONS

Air suport and airspace management must be planned and employed in concert with the JFC's campaign plan. Theymust also support land and air operations plans in order to effectively synchronize air and ground operations. Thischapter describes how the BCD sections ease the synchronization and&confliction of air-ground operations. Figuresin this chapter reflect the ARFOR subordinate to the JFLCC. BCD operations described in this chapter apply to theassociation of the BCD with any echelon: ASCC, corps, or division.

Section I. BCD FUNCTIONS DURING ATO DEVELOPMENT

Introduction

One must understand the joint environment in whichthe BCD operates in order to filly understand thefunctioning of the BCD. To promote clarity, thediscussion in this chapter is based on the BCDrelationship to a USAF JAOC. For the BCDrelationship to the NAVFOR and MARFOR JAOC, seeAppendix B. A more complete explanation of the jointenvironment is contained in JP 3-56.1.

Joint Force Air Component Commander

The JFC normally designates a JFACC to exploit thecapabilities of joint air operations through a cohesivejoint air operations plan with a responsive andintegrated control system. The JFACC is normally theservice component commander having the most airassets and the capability to control and direct joint airoperations. He derives authority from the JFC. TheJFACC’s responsibilities normally include thefollowing:

Planning.

Coordination.

Allocation.

Tasking.

All of these are based on the JFC’s apportionmentdecision.

The JAOC is set up to operate as a filly integratedfacility and staffed to fulfill all of the JFACC’sresponsibilities. Other service components provideliaison officers and staff augmentation as required tocoordinate requestor needs and maintain an “up to date”

picture of component operations. The result is a JAOCstaff organized and manned so that componentrepresentation reflects the composition of the jointforce.

BCD Interface with a JAOC

The BCD sections mesh with a USAF hosted JAOC asdepicted in the figure on the next page. The links areprimarily automated and comprised of both joint andservices-unique systems. BCD sections do not operateindependent of each other. They inform each other ofcurrent or future actions needing immediate or plannedcoordination. They also keep the ARFOR staffinformed of the same and respond appropriately toCOMARFOR requests for help.

In the figure on the next page the organization of aJAOC provided by the USAF as the JFACC is shone.If appropriate all of the following may reside in theJAOC:

MARLO.

NALE.

The director of combat operations (DCO) reports to thedeputy commander for operations (DO) and is thedirector of the JAOC. Subordinate to the JAOCdirector are the chiefs of combat plans and combatoperations. The director of combat intelligence (DCI)reports to the deputy for intelligence. Subordinate tothe DCI is the chief of the CID who oversees combatplans intelligence and combat operations intelligence.

Apportionment and Allocation Process Once the JFC makes his apportionment

BCD personnel must understand and consider theapportionment and allocation process to coordinate theCOMARFOR's air support and airspace requirements.The JFC, in consultation with his staff, the JFACC, andthe component commanders, determines the airapportionment. The BCD commander providestechnical advice and staff functional support to theCOMARFOR as he prepares to meet with the JFC. TheBCD also ensures the COMARFOR requirements areconsidered as the JFACC staff prepares theapportionment recommendation that is submitted.

decision, theJFACC translates the apportionment decision intospecific numbers of sorties by aircraft or weapons typeavailable. The translation into sorties is calledallocation.

Air Apportionment

The JFC orchestrates component operations byassigning missions and apportioning forces. Airapportionment lets the JFC ensure the weight of thejoint air effort is consistent with his concept ofoperations and objectives. Air apportionment is the

3-2

FM 100-13

determination and assignment of the total expectedjoint air effort by priority and/or percentage that shouldbe devoted to the various air operations and/or togeographic areas for a given period of time.Apportionment guidance lets supported commandersanticipate the level of air support. The apportionmentdecision may be daily or may remain in effect for alonger period of time, such as for a phase of thecampaign.

The JFC, in coordination with the componentcommanders, decides apportionment and providesguidance. This may take place in a variety of forums.

On the basis of the JFC’s initial guidance andobjectives, the JFACC determines air objectives andguidance. He articulates these to the air strategy celland/or GAT cell in the JAOC. After deliberations withrepresentatives of all components at the daily GATmeeting, the GAT cell furnishes the JFACC with arecommendation for air apportionment that willaccomplish the JFC's objectives. Another product ofthe GAT meeting is the draft joint integrated prioritizedtarget list (JIPTL). The JIPTL lists the highestpriorities of each component. Broad guidance fordeveloping the JIPTL maybe provided by the JTCB, ifone is formed. After consultation with the othercomponents, the JFACC presents the apportionmentrecommendation to the JFC. The JFC will make thefinal decision.

Note: The exact procedures and terminology may varyslightly between theaters. Each theater tailorsoperations to suit the environment.

The BCD commander’s input during GAT meetings isbased on the COMARFOR’s intent and concept ofoperations, and prioritized target nomination list. TheBCD representatives go to the meeting with a fullunderstanding of the priority, desired effect, andrationale for each nominated target to justify inclusionin the JIPTL. The following actions may take place atthis meeting:

Consider recommending changes to keytargets.

Develop and recommend updates to thejoint target list (JTL).

Assess joint air capabilities for futureoperations to meet JFC objectives andcomponent nominations.

At this meeting the BCD commander or hisrepresentative clarifies the COMARFOR’s air supportrequirements. He will explain the justification for thepriority of each target.

Apportionment Timelines

For planning purposes, the JFC’s initial guidance forthe apportionment recommendation may address aperiod 96 or more hours into the future. The figure onpage 3-5 illustrates a notional integrated air-groundoperations planning process. However, the JFC’s finalapportionment decision for a specific ATO is normallymade after requests for air support have been passedfrom the COMARFOR to the BCD.

Proactive consideration of factors bearing on futureoperations is key to synchronizing and sustainingmaneuver, fires, and interdiction. This considerationbegins as soon as practical. General guidelinesregarding time frames for commanders initiatingplanning considerations and establishing initialguidance vary with the level of command. As a generalrule the following apply:

Ninety-six hours or more at EAC

Seventy-two hours at corps.

Forty-eight hours at division.

Twenty-four hours at brigade.

Early planning permits COMARFOR identification ofhigh-value targets (HVTs) associated with variouscourses of action (COAs) and subsequent coordinationto refine and validate targets for nomination during theair tasking cycle and notional 48 hour joint ATO timeline. Early planning also eases parallel planning andinput from subordinate commanders as shown in thefigure on page 3-5.

The figure represents a notional process. The timelines represented are not prescriptive. Approaching the

3-3

FM 100-13

twenty-fret century, commanders and planners shouldnot be tied to a 96 hour planning and 48 hour executioncycle. Systems of shared databases, common pictureand information age technology will speed up theprocess. The emerging technologies permitcommanders to emphasize Army operational tenets ofagility and flexibility in planning, coordinating, andexecuting air and ground operations.

The COMARFOR considerations to support theplanning normally address a period 96 or more hoursinto the future. The process of nominating targetsduring this 96 hour planning and coordination windowis supported by the apportionment process. Targetnominations may be confirmed 24 hours beforeexecution of the ATO. Minor changes to targetnominations may be made within the 24 hour ATOdevelopment cycle, or during execution of the ATO.The planning windows ensure perceived targetrequirements are based on projected enemy capabilitiesand actions. This highlights the importance ofoperational level IPB and joint war gaming to supportARFOR requirement forecasts.

Allocation Process

During allocation, component commander’s givecommon use sorties to the JFC for JFACC tasking.This determines sortie availability for the taskingperiod. Allocation is done through exchange of airallocation request (ALLOREQ) messages. Themessages address the following three areas:

Service component planning for theirorganic support missions and internalrequirements as a result of the JFC’sapportionment decision.

Sorties not needed by the servicecomponent and available to the JFC forcommon use tasking by the JFACC.

Requests for additional air supportbeyond the capability of the servicecomponents.

The JFACC’s tool for planning and executing airrequirements is the ATO. The BCD is an integral partof the planning, coordinating, and executing the ATOin support of ARFOR operations.

Phase 2-Target Development

The joint targeting process normally begins beforeforces are deployed or before the onset of hostilities.During the deliberate planning associated with anOPLAN at the CINC level, for example, a JTL may beconstructed. This JTL is a database that contains thefollowing:

Prioritized target categories.

Specific targets.

Sufficient detail to help complete targetidentification, location, and assessment.

The JTL reflects the theater view of the threat. It is thestart point for the JFC’s targeting process focused onhis AOR. As the JFC’s concept of operations isdeveloped, the JTL will be updated. During executionof the OPLAN, the JTL continues to serve as anupdated reference.

The objectives and guidance received during phase oneare used to focus target development. The BCD planssection processes the COMARFOR target nominationsthrough the JAOC combat plans division, during phaseone. COMARFOR target nominations maybe derivedfrom the JTL data base, or maybe selected from thefollowing:

Intelligence.

development phase is a draft JIPLT, and a detailed airapportionment recommendation.

Phase 3-Weaponeering and Allocation

During this phase, targeting personnel quantify theexpected results of lethal and nonlethal weapons useagainst prioritized targets. The draft JIPTL, from thetarget development phase, is the basis for weaponeeringassessment activities. BCD personnel help the JAOCweaponeers identify the critical nodes of theCOMARFOR targets that must be attacked to meetCOMARFOR targeting objectives. Afterweaponeering, planners assign the appropriate assets toattack the targets. The final prioritized targets areincorporated into the MAAP. This MAAP is the planof employment that forms the foundation of the ATO.

Phase 4 ATO Development

After the MAAP is approved by the JFACC, the JAOCcombat plans division continues detailed preparationsconcerning the ATO, SPINS, and the ACO. The BCDplans section notifies the COMARFOR of anynominated targets which will not be included in theMAAP. Guidance from the JFC and JFACC, targetworksheets, MAAP, and component requirements areused to finalize the ATO, SPINS, and ACO. TheCOMARFOR may submit critical changes to targetnominations via the BCD during the final phase ofATO development. On the basis of the results of theMAAP, the COMARFOR may prioritize nominatedtargets not on the MAAP as alternates.

Phase 5-Force Execution

The JAOC directs the execution of and deconflicts allcapabilities and forces made available for a given ATO.The JFC may give the JFACC the authority to redirectjoint air operations. The JFACC must notify affectedcomponent commanders upon redirection of jointsorties that were allocated in the joint ATO to supportthem. The BCD operations section monitors theexecution of the ATO. The section tracks all eventsrelating to units performing assigned flying missions,and air defense of frendly forces. The BCD focuses onthe defense of key facilities and locations.

Section II. BCD OPERATIONAL INTERESTS

General

At the same time the ATO is developed, the BCDensures COMARFOR interests are met in otheroperational areas. These areas include the following:

Deep operations.

Air and missile defense.

Airlift.

Associated airspace command andcontrol.

Planning, coordination, and execution of operations inall these areas are eased by the DOCC and TMD cell(when formed).

BCD and the ARFOR Decision-Making Process

The COMARFOR and staff follow the militarydecision-making process described in FM 101-5 todevelop operations plans and orders. The plansdocument command decisions, guidance, and intent forthe application of assets to accomplish assignedmissions. The BCD is not directly involved in thisdecision-making process. However, the BCD providesthe input previously discussed which is key to plandevelopment. The sections of the BCD communicatewith the appropriate cells of the ARFOR TOC (army,corps, or division) to exchange information on thefollowing:

Operations.

Intelligence.

Administration.

Logistics.

BCD and ARFOR Deep Operations

The BCD evolved to provide coordination for theArmy deep operations effort. Deep operations seek toattack the enemy beyond the immediate fight. Theattacks shape the battlefield to support theCOMARFOR intent for current and future operations.

Advancements in reconnaissance and surveillance,weapons, information and communications technologynow permit the commander to find and target theenemy in all dimensions of the battle space. In tacticalechelons, the primary weapons are the following:

Artillery systems.

Attack helicopters.

CAS.

SOFs.

PSYOP.

Maneuver forces.

However, the primary means for attacking deep targetsare fixed- and rotary- winged air power, rocket, andmissile artillery. This requires that the groundcommander closely coordinate deep operations with the

JFACC. The BCD forms the link between the twoagencies.

The primary links for the BCD are the following:

ARFOR DOCC.

TMD cell (when formed).

ARFOR corps and below tire supportelements (FSE).

Headquarters with which the ARFORdirects contact in support of missionrequirements (for example AD, FA, andattack helicopter headquarters).

Supporting national and theaterintelligence services.

JFACC staff agencies internal andexternal to the JAOC (for exampleJ-STARS crew, GLOs at AMC, ACC,and ABCCC units).

BCD and the ARFOR DOCC

The figure on page 3-12 represents the BCDrelationship to the DOCC for coordination of deepoperations. The DOCC is resourced at corps but is

developed ‘ad hoc’ at division level at the commander’sdiscretion. The ASCC and corps DOCC is supportedby the automated deep operations coordination system(ADOCS). The AFATDS replaces ADOCS functionsas it is fielded.

The ADOCS is designed to automate and simplify theplanning and execution process. The ADOCS alsoserves as an electronic link to the fire direction system(FDS). As ADOCS matures, it will also serve as a linkto the maneuver control system (MCS) and the allsource analysis system (ASAS). The ADOCSsignificantly speeds the coordination and staffingprocess and thus is ideal for processing and engagingtargets with short dwell times. The ADOCSgraphically displays numerous types of critical friendlyand enemy battlefield geometry sets to include thefollowing:

Unit locations.

Air corridors.

Restricted fire areas.

The ADOCS operates on a local area network of workstations as shown in the figure on page 3-12.Configuration of work stations is a unit decision.Work effort is optimized on the basis of command andstaff needs.

requests are handled through component logisticchannels, with variations for the immediacy of therequest.

Planned Requests

When air movement requirements are known orprojected in advance, they are handled as plannedrequests. Planned request are processed throughnormal logistic channels. In all cases the JMC shouldtask planned requests within the operational lead timeestablished by the USAF component commander. Leadtime is the time needed to source, task, and generateactual missions in support of a specific requirement.Lead time varies, depending on the scale of the request,available forces, and the theater air planning process.

Immediate Requests

When air movement requirements are identified toolate for normal ATO tasking cycle coordination, theyare handled as immediate requests. Immediate requestsare usually made to satisfy urgent employment,sustainment, or extraction requirements. Onceidentified at an appropriate level in a component, theyare transmitted directly to the JAOC. The request isnormally sent by a theater air liaison ofticer (TALO),through operational channels. This allows the JAOC to

make preparations for the missions, while the actualrequest is staffed quickly through logistic channels.The theater airlift force is normally fully employed.The JMC may fill validated immediate requests byredirecting sorties supporting planned requests.

The primary operational responsibility of the BCDairlift section is to speed the processing of airliftrequests in support of COMARFOR operations. Thesection must understand the request procedures andformats. The airlift role of the BCD varies fromoperation to operation. The BCD airlift sectionnormally performs the following:

Receives requests from theCOMARFOR and coordinates them withthe airlift coordination cell (ALCC).

Ensures the airlift schedule is providedto the COMARFOR.

Monitors air movement.

CHAPTER 4COMMUNICATIONS AND AUTOMATION

The BCD must interoperate and communicate with Army, joint and other service organizations as an EAC unit locatedat the JAOC. The BCD requires communication and automation equipment that is compatible with these organizations.Joint and service communications networks provide secure voice, data, facsimile, and message trafffic communicationslinkage. All must be Army technical architecture (ATA) compliant. While this is an Army document, the joint aspectsmust comply with the joint technical architecture (JTA).

Section I. COMMUNICATIONS

External Communications

Priority must be given to theater communicationssystems to assure that targeting information isappropriately disseminated.

The GCCS provides the primary means ofcommunications from the joint headquarters to thesubordinate component commands. The systembetween the BCD and the ARFOR headquarters isestablished as part of the AGCCS. Secure facsimileshould be used between the BCD and the ARFORheadquarters.

The ARFOR communications staff is responsible toensure the BCD is adequately equipped withcommunications systems and integrated into theARFOR communications nets. BCD automationsystems use the communications links for exchange ofdigital information.

Internal Communications

Internal communications provide links betweenoperator stations via local area networks (LANs) and tothe external communication transmission systems. TheBCD commander must coordinate the following:

Access to the JAOC LAN.

Access to JFACC automation systems.

Linkage of BCD automation systemswith the hosting JFACC staff.

Signal Support

The employment of automated systems by the BCD atthe JAOC greatly increases the complexity of the signalsupport required. Signal soldiers are needed to supportboth the communications and automation andinformation processing systems assigned to the BCD.Signal specialists are assigned to the BCD to install,use, maintain, and troubleshoot communicationequipment and terminal devices. The system specialistis responsible for the following:

Integrate unit signal systems into thesignal corps wide area network (WAN).

Perform unit-level maintenance onauthorized signal equipment andassociated electronic devices.

Section II. AUTOMATION

To support the BCD missions a number of battlefieldsoftware applications are needed. The AGCCSreplaces the STACCS as the primary automated C2

system for EAC. This suite of automation equipmentconsists of common hardware and software and usesDepartment of Defense (DOD) COE.

The CTAPS is the Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) designatedATO generation and dissemination means. As AGCCStransitions into service, it will become the Army linkwith C41 systems of other services. It will be able toaccess the ATO through CTAPS. This capability willsimplify the exchange information on the following:

Joint ATO.

Airspace management.

Intelligence.

Air defense.

Work space availability may dictate that elements ofthe BCD be separated from their supporting AGCCSterminals. In which case access to CTAPS terminalsfor BCD personnel will be needed.

In addition to interface with CTAPS, as AGCCSmatures, it will link with the Army tactical commandand control system (ATCCS) and other components ofthe Army battle command system (ABCS) at corpsechelon and below. The links let the BCD access, bothinternally and externally with the following:

AFATDS.

ASAS.

FAADC3I.

Other systems and data bases as needed.

The AGCCS will include application modules whichwill link with the CTAPS database. The links will easeBCD synchronization and coordination. If theobjective applications are not operative when the BCDdeploys, then the BCD requires access to CTAPS workstations. USAF AOC, provided CTAPS will let theBCD receive information from JAOC elements for

ATO and ACO synchronization and coordination. Itwill also Let the BCD pass the information to ATCCSsystems. The BCD must be equipped with, or haveaccess via AGCCS, to the following ATCCS systems:

The ASAS work stations for updatedinformation and intelligence summaries.

The AFATDS to obtain and disseminatetargeting and fire support information.

The FAADC31 for access to air defensesystems and sensors. It also gives ADAair space control information to theairspace management section for theconduct of airspace C2

CHAPTER 5BCD SUPPORT TO CONTINGENCY MISSIONS

The BCD organization is designed to support a mature theater of operations and to operate in fully deployed JAOC.The first chapters of this manual focused on how the BCD operates in that type of environment. However, when neededthe BCD is capable of deploying in tailored cells to satisfy a specfic contingency. This can occur in a range ofsituations. For example, any of the following might call for a tailored BCD cell:

A NAVFOR or MARFOR commander is designated as the JFACC.

When the ARFOR commander is a corps, division, or brigade commander.

In a SAS0.

Deployment under the direct control of the JFC when there is no designated JFACC.

Contingency OperationsSize of the operation.

The BCD is key to synchronized contingencyoperations. Having a BCD in the JFACC JAOC duringcontingency operations is important because of thedetailed coordination that must take place in a veryshort time span. In the multipolar post-cold warenvironment, contingency operations are increasinglycommon. They tend to be more the norm than theexception. They are often highly visible and politicallysensitive. They are characterized by the “surgical” useof air assets and high level concern about the collateraldamage effects of friendly air attacks. For thesereasons, the JAOC expects detailed information aboutArmy operations. The BCD must be prepared toprovide this information in addition to supporting otherdoctrinal functions.

BCD Personnel for Contingency Support

There is no established manning for a BCD cell tosupport a contingency operation. Manning depends onthe following:

Theater air control system (TACS) andArmy air-ground system (AAGS)structuring

Designation of the JFACC.

Size of the JAOC function.

Enemy strengths and capabilities.

Extent of air support requirements.

However, the principal factor influencing the size ofthe BCD is the coordination and support needed by theARFOR commander and his vision or concept ofimpending joint operations. Deployment constraintsusually limit the size of the BCD cell deployed in theearly stages of a contingency operation. BCD supportto operation Just Cause in Panama is an example.

A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Initial planning called for a 12 man BCD to be deployed in three increments. A two man BCD team deployedas part of the XVIII Airborne Corps ADVON following the issue of the NCA execute order on D -2. Theteam included the senior plans officer who had long-term involvement in the planning and was to act as chiefof the deployed cell. With him was an intelligence officer who had extensive BCD experience.

The second increment included four more personnel: an operations/airspace management officer, a plansNCO, an operations NCO, and an airlift officer. They deployed with the corps HQ on D-day.

These four, plus the two already deployed, made up the initial BCD cell. The first three soldiers deployed asscheduled on D-day. However, the airlift officer was “bumped” due to deployment constraints.

If needed, a third increment of six people was on standby to deploy after D-day. Only one, an airlift NCO,deployed, along with the “bumped” airlift officer, on D + 4. They handled the unforeseen theater airliftrequirements. By D + 4, combat operations had stabilized and the deployed seven man BCD was adequate forthe mission.

The minimum size of a deployed BCD cell should be Establish deployment priorities. Airlifttwelve. Any fewer severely degrades the capability to constraints increase the possibility ofsustain operations and provide expertise in all BCD being bumped.functions. BCD support to operation Just Causeillustrates many considerations for planning BCD Airborne Warning and Control Systemsupport in contingency operations. The contingencyBCD must:

Be prepared to perform all BCDfunctions without regard to the size ofthe cell.

Deploy an initial BCD cell with the mostexperienced soldiers to cover allfunctions. They may be all that arrive orare needed.

Stay involved with the ARFOR plansstaff to ensure OPLANs includeconsiderations for BCD deployment andsupport.

Identify communications andautomation needs as early in theplanning process as possible.

During contingency operations, procedures for passinginformation from USAF airborne C2 platforms (forexample, airborne warning and control system[AWACS] and ABCCC) to Army units can be easedby a BCD member flying with the platform.

Role of the ANGLICO

The air and naval gunfire liaison company (ANGLICO)is organized and equipped for the planning, requesting,and controlling of naval gunfire (naval surface firesupport), artillery, and MAGTF CAS. The companycan support allied and US forces, including US Armydivisional units and their organic combat forces. TheANGLICO deploys teams to each level of commandwhen Army units are engaged in amphibious or otheroperations supported by naval surface fire support andMAGTF aviation. It is composed of USN and MarineCorps air control and fire direction personnel, under

Marine Corps command. The personnel serve asliaison to supported Army and allied combat units.

The significance of the ANGLICO to the BCD is thatANGLICO teams collocate with the ARFOR FSE andG3 or S3 air ashore. The teams have directcommunications to the sea-based USN JAOC, TACCand/or supporting arms coordination center (SACC)facility and to the Marine TACC and/or DASC,facilities ashore, once established. In joint operations,BCD cells will work in the sea-based USN JAOC,TACC and/or SACC and at the Marine TACC, DASCashore at the terminal end of existing ANGLICOcommunications nets.

The relationship between the ANGLICO and BCD ismutually supporting and key. The ARFOR FSE (corpsand below) processes preplanned and immediate airsupport requests for AI, CAS, EW, and tactical airreconnaissance (TAR) through the ANGLICO whouses a combination of hard copy and voice nets. Thepresence of the BCD at the TACC end of the netsensures the following:

Priority handling of each request.

The ARFOR situation and needs areclearly stated.

The USN or MAGTF commander’sability to support ARFOR request isassured by feedback through theANGLICO.

Planning and Considerations

When the BCD operates with the USN and MarineCorps some additional operational considerations froma planning and execution perspective exist. The BCDmust do the following:

Brief the following key personnel andagencies early on the role, mission, andfunction of the BCD:

-ARFOR, TOC Staff.

-Commander landing force (CLF).

-Commander amphibious task force(CATF) and staff.

-Tactical air control squadron(TACRON).

APPENDIX ABCD RELATIONSHIP TO THE USAF

Normally, the commander of a numbered air force (NAF) is designated as the Air Force forces (AFFOR) commander,and as the JFACC. In this case, the AFFOR AOC hosts the JAOC. The USAF AOC is the senior agency of the TACS.It is task organized to provide centralized planning and control and to ease decentralized execution of air and airdefense operations. The JAOC develops and executes the ATO. If the JFACC is also designated the ACA, his JAOCdevelops the ACO.

USAF Air Operations Center as JAOC

The USAF AOC is the operational facility in which thecommander of Air Force forces (COMAFFOR) orJFACC, when so designated by the JFC, has centralizedthe planning, direction, and control over committed airassets. The JAOC works at the component or forcelevel, and gives the COMAFFOR and/or JFACC withthe following:

Supervises the activities of assigned orattached forces.

Monitors the actions of enemy andfriendly forces.

Control joint and combined force airassets.

The deployed JAOC integrates equipment and cadrepersonnel from the staff of the numbered air force(NAF) and component organizations. JAOC manningis based on a cadre concept with personnel picked fortheir battle management expertise and knowledge of C*concepts and procedures. The cadre personnel areaugmented by personnel who are specialistsknowledgeable in the current capabilities, tactics, andprocedures of each of the C41 systems, weaponsplatforms, or service-unique functions in use.

USAF JAOC Functions

The USAF JAOC can be tailored to do a variety ofmissions and management functions. In any case, theJAOC performs the following three basic managementfunctions:

Flight management. The flightmanagement function consists of twoparts. First, air operations planningculminating in the production of anATO. Secondly, monitoring andtracking the progress of tasked missionsto include relaying any changes ordeviations to affected control agenciesor flying units.

Battle management. The battlemanagement function of the JAOC isdefined as the decisions and actionstaken in direct response to the presenceor activities of enemy forces. The battlemanagement function is the most criticalactivity in the JAOC. It may decide thesuccess or failure of the theater forces toachieve their assigned objectives.

Systems management. Systemsmanagement focuses oncommunications. It is the building andmaintaining of links between allelements of the TACS. Airspacemanagement and communicationsmanagement are normally consideredsubsets of the function. The majorconcern of the AOC in this area is theexchange of C2 information, such as thefollowing:

-ATO.

-Orders of battle.

-Scrambles.

A-1

FM 100-13

-Threat alerts.

-Air logistical status.

USAF JAOC Organization

JAOC organization may vary among NAFs. All JAOCare made up of six staff elements responsible for thefollowing:

Operations.

Plans.

Intelligence.

Logistics.

Communications-electronics.

CSS.

The size of JAOC depends on the size of the forces(land, sea, and air) involved and the C2 needed. During

a contingency operation, the USAF component couldrange in size from a single squadron to numerouswings.

Initially, the JAOC may have only two tasks as follows:

Guide the arrival and positioning of airresources.

Prepare the plans and agreementsneeded for their continued support andoperations.

The size of the JAOC may vary. It could begin as alimited capability represented in the small quickresponse package (QRP). Later a more robust limitedresponse package (LRP) may evolve. And finally, afully operational theater response package (TRP)capable of a Desert Storm level of effort may develop.Whatever the size of the force involved, the necessityfor the COMAFFOR and/or JFACC to have one centralsystem to exercise control over his forces remains thesame. The figure on page A-3 represents a notionalUSAF JFACC structure providing a JAOC.

APPENDIX BBCD RELATIONSHIP TO THE NAVFOR AND MARFOR

Currently, if the JFC designates the NAVFOR Commander as the JFACC, he will conduct operations on either an LCC(command and control platform) or on an aircraft carrier, depending on which is in the theater. The LCC has morecapability in terms of communication equipment, but it is more likely that a carrier will be on the scene.

When assuming duty as the JFACC, the NAVFOR commander or commander carrier group (COMCARGRU) forms aJFACC staff and begins operations. Initially, most of the JFACC staff will consist of USN personnel with liaisons fiomthe other components and augmentees flown in as needed.

The functions of the Navy JFACC are organized and standard. The aircrafi carrier or the LCC has a JAOC. The A TOis developed according to joint procedures and guidace fiom the JFC. Due largely to the constricted berthing spaceavailable on USN ships, the staff of a sea-based JFACC will normally be smaller than a land-based JFACC. Thedifference in staff size has an effect on the joint air planning capacity that a sea-based JFACC can handle. Theorganization and procedures associated with a sea-based JFACC do not differ signlficant[y fiom a [and-based JFACC.The fimctions are the same. The differences between the two are more often a factor of scale of the operation than withthe procedures inherent in both. A notional sea-based JFACC structure is shown in the figure below.

B-1

FM 100-13

Navy Tactical Air Control Center

The USN TACC is the senior agency of the Navytactical air control system (NTACS). The sea-basedUSN TACC is the primary air control agency fromwhich all air operations are controlled. This includessupport of amphibious operations when air control andairspace management are sea-based. It is the USNfunctional equivalent of the USAF JAOC and USMCTACC. Like the USAF AOC, it can be augmented andtailored to form a JAOC.

The USN TACC controls air support and air warfareforces in the AOA, when established, until control ofthe operations is passed to the CLF. The USN TACCis operated by a tactical air control squadron(TACRON). A TACRON is organized to man all ofthe offensive air systems and a portion of the airdefense systems of the USN TACC.

The tactical air controller (TAC) is the officer in chargeof all operations of the USN TACC. He is responsiblefor the control of all aircraft and air warning facilitiesin the AOA. The TAC is responsible for the overalloperation of the USN TACC. The USN TACC isdivided into the following five sections:

Air traffic control.

Air support control.

Helicopter coordination.

Air warfare.

Plans and support.

The figure on page B-4 depicts the organization of theUSN TACC and the links to the BCD. Each sectionhas defined responsibilities.

Air Support Control Section

The air support control section (ASCS) exercisesoperational control and coordination of all aircraft(offensive air) assigned to strike warfare or troopsupport missions. The air support coordinator advisesthe SACC of weapons loads, fuel status, and other datathat will aid in mission assignment or coordination.

The ASCS advises the supporting arms coordinator(SAC) on the following:

Use of CAS aircraft.

Evaluates and coordinates tactical airrequests (TARs) received.

Consolidates daily air supportrequirements.

Air Warfare Section

The air warfare section (AWS) is responsible for theevaluation of all air warning reports and the operationalcontrol of all air warfare assets. It does the followingtasks:

Issues threat warnings.

Initiates and controls the assignment andengagement of air contacts by combatair patrol (CAP), guns, missiles, andelectronic attack (EA).

Designates anit-air warfare (AAW)sectors.

The AWS coordinates all air warfare operations in theAOA. The AWS acts as a link between the CATF andthe air warfare commander (AWC). Actual control ofAW assets usually remains with the AWC.

Air Traffic Control Section

The air traffic control section (ATCS) is responsible forthe safe and speedy handling of ail aircraft operating inthe AOA. It controls and coordinates all air trafficentering, operating in, or traversing the AOA. Thesection also coordinates search and rescue operations.

Helicopter Coordination Section

Transport helicopter operations are controlled by thehelicopter direction centers (HDCs) on aviation-capable amphibious ships. The helicopter coordinationsection provides oversight to all HDCS in theamphibious force. In the course of providing oversightthe section does the following tasks:

B-2

FM 100-13

Coordinates all transport helicopteroperations.

US Marine Corps Tactical Air Command A sea-based Marine TADC is established during

The USMC TACC is the senior air control agency inthe Marine air command and control system (MACCS).It serves as the aviation combat element (ACE)commander’s command post. The Marine TACC is thefacility from which the ACE commander and the battlestaff plan, supervise, coordinate, and execute all currentand future MAGTF air operations. It is the fictionalequivalent of the USAF JAOC and the USN TACC,and is the facility from which the BCD operates. Thebattle staff is divided into two sections. One handlescurrent MAGTF operations while the other plans futureoperations.

Theorganization and capabilities normally mirror theMarine TACC and differ only in the scope of assignedtasks, size of responsible airspace, and location ofcontrol. Once the MAGTF assumes control of all airoperations, the Marine TADC becomes the MarineTACC.

The Marine TACC consists of two sections. The futureoperations section develops and disseminates the ATO.The current operations section supervises the executionof the ATO and makes adjustments as dictated by thesituation. The figure on the next page depicts theorganization of the Marine TACC.

Integration of the BCD into the TACC

In many instances the USN or Marine Corps could bethe JFACC and the primary provider of air power toArmy forces. The USN uses an afloat tactical aircontrol center (TACC) to manage air assets. The USNTACC is collocated the SACC aboard the amphibioustask force (ATF) C31 ship.

The Marine Corps uses a tactical air command center(Marine TACC) to manage air assets. The USN TACCand Marine TACC manage air operations inside anAOA on behalf of the CATF and the CLF respectively.The BCD with a contingency mission must be ready todeploy with USN and/or Marine TACC support teamsto give the same BCD functional area links as in aUSAF AOC.

BCD Functional Area Links

The fictional area links of the BCD with individualUSN TACC sections is depicted in the figure on page

BCD to Marine TACC Links

“Phasing control ashore” is the process of passing theauthority to command, control and coordinate certaincombat functions from the CATF to the CLF. Thephasing of control ashore process, as it applies to theMAGTF ACE, directly impacts on the functioning andresponsibilities of various MACCS agencies.

The tactical air operations center (TAOC) is theprimary air control agency of the MACCS. It isresponsible for airspace control and management. Itprovides real-time surveillance and control of friendlyaircraft. It provides navigational aid with respect toassigned airspace and direction. It performs real-timedirection and control of air warfare operationsinvolving aircraft and surface-to-air weapons. TheTAOC collects and displays information obtained fromTACC and other USMC sources. The TACC also usesinformation from other services and nations. TheTAOC process the information for use in controllingassigned airspace and directing and controlling airdefense assets. TAOC operations parallel those of theCRC normally associated with joint Army and USAFdefensive air operations.

The Marine responsible for overall management of airdefense assets within the Marine Corps AO or assignedsector is the Marine sector air warfare coordinator(SAWC). The SAWC typically collocates with theTAOC. By mutual agreement between the CATF andCLF, the CLF would assume control of landward sectorAAW and exercise that control through the SAWC andTAOC.

The DASC is similar to the USAF ASOC normallyfound in a corps tactical operations center (CTOC).The DASC is the primary MACCS agency responsiblefor the direction of air operations supporting groundforces.

The Marine TACC evolves from the TADC. Duringthe phasing of control ashore process, the CLFnormally establishes a TADC ashore. The TADC iscomprised of the same equipment and personnel whowill operate the MAGTF TACC. Once the CATF andCLF agree that the MAGTF is capable of coordinatingand managing aviation functions ashore, theresponsibilities are passed to the Marine TADC. Thefunctions include the following:

All aviation planning and C2 functions.

Sector airspace management functions.

Planning functions for landing forceaviation.

Upon passage of the responsibilities, the Marine TADCassumes the functions as the Marine TACC and theUSN TACC reverts to the position as the USN TADC.

APPENDIX CBCD TRAINING

BCD personnel must be qualified in there military occupation specialty as early in their assignment as possible so thatfollow on training time focuses on collective training and sustainment of individual skills. Duties in the BCD are highlytechnical in nature. Much of the individual training comes from the wide variety of courses taught at various serviceschools. The BCD conducts section collective training. Joint training exercises also provide a medium for collectivetraining of the BCD.

Formal Training

Under ideal conditions, all members of the BCD shouldattend formal training. BCD personnel should beprioritized to attend courses most closely related totheir individual area of expertise. BCD personnelshould also attend courses not directly related to theirarea of expertise to give the BCD a cross-trainedcapability. Cross training enhances BCD flexibility totailor support for contingencies when a full BCD is notneeded.

At a minimum, BCD personnel should attend thefollowing courses as appropriate to their duty position.

Joint Air Operations Staff Course(JAOSC) at the USAF Air-GroundOperations School (AGOS), HurlburtField, FL.

Environmental Protection

Protection of natural resources has become an ever-increasing concern in Army training programs. All unitleaders have the responsibility to reduce, and ifpossible eliminate, damage to the environment whenconducting training. Environment risk managementparallels safety risk management and is based on thesame philosophy and principles. It consists of thefollowing steps:

Identify environmental hazards

Identify potential sources of environmental degradationduring analysis of METT-T factors. Theenvironmental hazards are conditions with the potentialfor polluting air, soil, or water and/or destroyingcultural or historical artifacts.

Assess the hazards

Using the environmental risk assessment matrixesfound in Appendix D, analyze the potential severity ofenvironmental degradation for each training activity.The matrixes allow trainers to quantify the risk to theenvironment as extremely high, high, medium, or low,The risk impact value is an indicator of the levels ofseverity.

Make environmental risk decisions

On the basis of the risk assessment, make decisions anddevelop measures to reduce significant environmentalrisks.

APPENDIX DENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS TRAINING

Awareness of the impact to the environment for each operation helps future operations and in peacetime saves vitalresources. Using sound environmental practices during peacetime aids in soldiers performing their mission duringwartime without excessive damage or permanently altering the environment. Human error causes many environmentalproblems caused by the Army. These human errors in peacetime in the United States and in host nations (HN) nowresult in monetary and punitive actions being taken against the individual, not the unit. Below are some major reasonsfor human error.

Command failure -- clear, practical standards do not exist at the lowest level.

Training failure - standards exist, but adherence to the standards is not stressed during training.

Leader failure -- standards are taught but not enforced.

Individual failure -- standarads are known but not followed

Environmental Standards

Realistic training can be done without permanentdamage to the environment. Environmental laws andregulations do not hinder training. They should beconsidered during the planning process and employedat all levels of planning and execution. Commanderscan use the following steps to help their unit practiceenvironmentally sound training and operations that donot permanently harm the environment.

Set high standards

Ensure all unit members know the state or HNenvironmental laws for the location of the operation.Environmental adherence is mandatory.

Know your soldiers

The newly assigned soldier may not be familiar withthe local (state or HN) environmental laws. These newsoldiers will be trained by the unit environmentalofficer. He will keep the commander informed of theenvironmental status of the unit.

Know your equipment

Know the condition of all equipment in your unit.Many check sheets and publications are available toguide in determining the status of the equipment.

Apply dispatch discipline

Many environmental hazards involve equipment thatshould not be operated. Tough-minded dispatchdiscipline reduces environmental contamination. Holdthe appropriate leaders accountable for the condition oftheir equipment.

Manage risks in training

Integrate the requirement for environmentalstewardship with the demand for realistic combattraining. Environmental stewardship is achievedthrough the management of inherent mission risks.

Maintain awareness

Always be aware of the mission-critical importance ofenvironmental stewardship in your operations. Do notallow yourself to relax your vigil and becomecomplacent when everything is running smoothly.Constant awareness of the requirement for includingenvironmental considerations in all day-to-day unitoperations is key to keeping peak readiness.

Risk Management

Integrate environmental stewardship into the planningand application phases of operations. Besidesanalyzing the task, this allows the leader to manage

risk. Risk management is smart decision making. It levels. Leaders must train to use risk managementfocuses on task accomplishment while reducing the skills and techniques to establish standards thathazards that could cause environmental damage. Since effectively balance risk with operational objectives.all soldiers make decisions that entail environmental There is a risk assessment work sheet below to helpuse, risk management techniques apply to soldiers at all leaders plan safe training exercises.
