Chapter 2 2-10 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 17 April 2019 AMD, mortars, and small UAS concerns. The JAGIC must be aware that every company commander is an airspace user equipped with short-range air defense (SHORAD) systems, mortars, and small UAS. Without making the COP illegible, with multiple control measures juxtaposed to every company on the battlefield, the JAGIC must process SAAFRs, air corridors, ACAs, and FSCMs that will not impede a commander, based on his position, from employing an organic effect. When it becomes impracticable to do this, the JAGIC must advise the ADAM/BAE on restrictions required for integration. In these cases, an appendix 10 to annex C that lists the commander’s priorities for airspace users is invaluable. Assigning brigades portions of division airspace. In practice, brigades are not assigned control of large volumes of airspace. During large-scale combat operations when brigade command posts are displacing frequently, the JAGIC is essential to procedural control for all brigade areas, and the brigades are responsible for integrating airspace users into their respective areas of operation. Augmenting ADAM/BAEs and ADAMs with capabilities from the AIC is a technique if brigades must procedurally control large volumes of airspace for extended periods. JAGIC INTERACTION WITH OTHER AGENCIES 2-26. The JAGIC cannot effectively operate without receiving and transmitting information to internal and external agencies. Some of the agencies the JAGIC integrates with to successfully direct fires and control airspace in support of the division are listed in paragraphs 2-27 through 2-41. JOINT AIR OPERATIONS CENTER 2-27. ASOC personnel in the JAGIC coordinate with the JAOC for numerous tasks associated with executing air operations in support of division operations. Upon receipt of the daily ATO, ASOC personnel review mission allocations and coordinate with the JAOC to ensure synchronized execution. Division current air operations personnel conduct coordination with the JAOC CAS duty officer for all CAS related issues, including tasking ground alert CAS and retasking CAS missions to other units in support of division operations. ASOC personnel coordinate with the SODO for AI mission execution in the division-assigned airspace and for missions transiting the division area of operations to attack targets beyond the FSCL. ASOC personnel also coordinate with other joint airspace entities, such as the CRC, AWACS, and JSTARS, for deconfliction and clearance of fires. ASOC personnel and the ISR liaison officer coordinate with the JAOC’s ISR division regarding the use of theater ISR assets to support specific division operations. During execution of these ISR missions, ASOC personnel coordinate with the JAOC’s combat operations division senior intelligence duty officer. (See JP 3-30, chapter 2, for additional information on the division’s interaction with the JAOC.) BATTLEFIELD COORDINATION DETACHMENT 2-28. The BCD is the JFLCC’s liaison element in the JAOC. During deliberate targeting, the division fires cell nominates targets through the senior Army headquarters that, in turn, submits target nominations to the BCD for representation at the joint targeting board. In dynamic targeting, JAGIC personnel may coordinate directly with the SODO at the JAOC for dynamic fires requests. When JAGIC fires personnel coordinate fires beyond the FSCL or outside Army boundaries, BCD personnel coordinate with JAOC personnel to integrate immediate division fires and airspace requirements. The BCD receives graphic control measure requests from divisions or corps during iterative planning cycles for nomination to the JAOC for inclusion onto the theater ACO. The BCD also distributes ACO updates to corps and other divisions when issued by the JAOC. (See JP 3-30, appendix F, and ATP 3-09.13, for additional information on BCDs.) DIVISION CURRENT OPERATIONS INTEGRATION CELL 2-29. The JAGIC integrates and physically positions in the COIC of the division main command post. The JAGIC chief and SAD work closely with the division assistant chief of staff operations (G-3) and the chief of current operations to ensure the command post synchronizes division fires and airspace control with both the division’s tactical plan and the commander’s priorities.
