Chapter 1 1-14 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 17 April 2019 Procedural Controller 2 1-51. Procedural controller 2, like controller 1, is responsible for the procedural control of aircraft in division assigned airspace. However, procedural controller 2 is more concerned with assigned aircraft as they are transitioning out of division airspace. Procedural controller 2 provides aircraft check-out briefs and ensures aircraft receive a positive hand-off to a control agency upon check out. Procedural controller 2 records phase 1 battle damage assessment, any other in-flight reports, and JTAC mission effectiveness reports. Procedural controller 2 provides this information to the appropriate intelligence agencies. Intelligence Duty Officer 1-52. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) monitors the division’s operational area and deconflicts or validates targets identified for airpower to prosecute and, or identified in immediate air support requests. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) tracks enemy and friendly dispositions, monitors orders of battle, land component priority of fires, CAS distribution and priority, and weather. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) also keeps the ASOC aware of threats prior to and during air operations. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) ensures procedural controller 1 relays threat and area of operations updates to subordinate TACPs, JTACs, and aircrews. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) records battle damage assessment and other pertinent mission report data to the Department of Defense (DD) Form 1972, Joint Tactical Air Strike Request, section III using the WARP. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) ensures battle damage assessment and mission reports are channeled to the appropriate Air Force agencies. 1-53. For mission planning, the intelligence duty officer (or technician) coordinates with the division Army intelligence cell, the information collection division in the JAOC, and the intelligence personnel located at both the wing operations centers and the TACPs. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) produces and disseminates the effects summaries from in-flight reports and the situation reports from deployed TACPs and JTACs. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) fuses information from multiple sources to produce an ASOC COP. The intelligence duty officer (or technician) in partnership with the interface control technician contributes to the tactical picture by adding intelligence and datalink information. Senior Air Technician 1-54. The senior air technician is the senior enlisted person who, in conjunction with the SAD, oversees ASOC operations. The senior air technician focuses on the technical aspects of the ASOC processes, ensuring the JARNO, intelligence duty technician, and procedural controllers are effectively accomplishing their duties. The crew supervisor works with the ATOM to process immediate JTARs and monitors the status of assigned TACPs and JTACs. Tactical Air Control Party 1-55. The TACP is the air liaison unit co-located with ground maneuver units. Although TACPs are usually associated with BCTs and subordinate battalions, the division also receives a TACP. TACPs are under the operational control of the EASOG or EASOS. ALOs and JTACs make up the TACP’s personnel. The division TACP has two primary missions: Advise ground commanders on the capabilities and limitations of air operations and, in partnership with the ASOC’s JARNO and procedural controllers, perform the primary control of CAS aircraft. TACP personnel in the JAGIC are listed in paragraphs 1-53 through 1-60. Air Liaison Officer 1-56. As explained in paragraph 1-41, for active duty division’s the ALO is usually the EASOS commander overseeing, not only the division TACP but also the ASOC. For Air National Guard, ASOS units are commanded separately. At echelons below division, an ALO is a TACP member attached to a ground unit who functions as the primary advisor to the ground commander on air operations. At each echelon the ALO plans and facilitates the execution of airpower in accordance with both the ground
