It documents the tactics, techniques, and procedur... more »es (TTP) that a Joint Air Operations Center (JAOC) and the Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) use to counter air and missile threats. To more completely explore and refine these TTP, the functions and responsibilities of the US Army battlefield coordination detachment (BCD) were fully considered. However, because the contents are limited to AAMDC / BCD / JAOC relationships, the contributions of Naval forces were not. This publication will assist the joint force commander (JFC), the joint force air component commander (JFACC), and the JFACC?s principal staff in developing a coherent approach to preparing for combat operations. It documents the methods used to coordinate AAMDC operations for the commander, Army Forces (COMARFOR) with JAOC operations for a commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) designated JFACC / AADC / ACA. It defines the command and control (C2) relationships between AAMDC and JAOC and includes the BCD?s role as the principal liaison between the ARFOR and the JFACC. It addresses AAMDC / BCD / JAOC coordination and integration procedures in the following areas: battle management (BM) command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I); passive and active defense; and attack operations. The principles and some of the relationships and processes also apply in other circumstances, such as when the JFC designates the Navy or USMC as the JFACC / AADC / ACA."
