Chapter 1 1-16 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 17 April 2019 Component Liaisons 1-61. For limited periods, liaisons from other United States (U.S.) armed Services, Army and Air Force components not already described, and interagency and intergovernmental personnel may operate from the JAGIC to integrate fires and airspace requirements into division airspace. Multinational, coalition, and NATO partners are more difficult to integrate as they will not always have access to the COIC but, as explained in chapter 2, may represent agencies with which the JAGIC interacts. Component liaisons can include, but are not limited to, air mobility liaison officers (AMLO), SOF, Marine Corps or Navy liaison officers, and electronic warfare specialists. 1-62. Select personnel and agencies may operate in the JAGIC as required for specific missions. They include those listed in paragraphs 1-63 through 1-68. Mobility Air Force Weapons Officer 1-63. Joint forcible entry operations require a high degree of joint tactical integration for fires and airspace deconfliction for both air land and airdrop missions. Mobility Air Force (MAF) weapons officers represent the air component commander (s) with OPCON of air mobility assets. They can temporarily collocate with the COIC to provide liaison to facilitate integration and shared understanding between all entities during mission execution. In these cases, it is important to note that this is a close support relationship to ensure unity of effort: there is no change in OPCON, tactical control (TACON), or administrative control (ADCON). The MAF weapons officer will require a functional workstation, including dedicated secret internet protocol router (SIPR) network terminal, non-secure internet protocol router (NIPR) network terminal, secure and non-secure phone, and supporting access requirements in the COIC. (See JP 3-30 for more information on the air mobility division and air mobility considerations.) Air Mobility Liaison Officer 1-64. AMLOs will develop a relationship with the future operations (FUOPS) and COIC to facilitate air mobility effects in the division’s area of operations. This does not require an AMLO’s physical presence in the JAGIC. However, following joint forcible entry operations or sustainment operations requiring an elevated degree of coordination for air landings and airdrops, AMLOs may function closely with the JAGIC to help facilitate joint operations integration and shared understanding. In either situation, it is important to note that this is a close support relationship to ensure unity of effort during air operations using fixed wing USAF airlift assets; there is no change in OPCON, TACON, or ADCON. United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), Air Mobility Command (AMC) and 18 th Air Force typically authorize AMLOs to execute direct liaison authority, and delegate requisite coordinating authority, with all supported and supporting entities, including the G-3, G-4, ALO, theater joint movement center, theater director of mobility forces, theater JAOCs, 618 AOC, aircrew, ground liaison officers (GLO) and combat control teams (CCT). AMLOs typically maintain close coordinating relationship with the theater director of mobility forces and the air mobility division of the theater JAOC. When directed by the 18 th Air Force, AMLOs may take operational direction from the theater director of mobility forces. The AMLO requires a functional workstation, including dedicated SIPR network terminal, NIPR network terminal, secure and non-secure phone, and supporting access requirements. (See JP 3-17 for more information on AMLOs.) Staff Judge Advocate 1-65. The staff judge advocate may be involved with the JAGIC when executing sensitive targets or targets with the potential to produce collateral damage. In all instances, the division staff judge advocate must be easily accessible to the JAGIC. Information Operations, Electronic Warfare, Cyberspace Electromagnetic, and Space Representatives 1-66. An officer or non-commissioned officer representing information operations, specific information- related capabilities, electronic warfare capabilities, cyberspace electromagnetic activities (CEMA), or space operations may be involved in the JAGIC when these capabilities or activities require integration with fires and other airspace users and are instrumental to the success of specific operations.
