Chapter 2 2-12 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 17 April 2019 support of the division. The JFLCC can direct the field artillery brigade to execute tasks for any joint, service, or functional headquarters. A division may have a field artillery brigade assigned, attached, placed under its operational control, or given a support relationship to the division. The division may employ the field artillery brigade as its field force artillery headquarters. The field artillery brigade, if they choose to do so or, under certain command relationships are tasked to do so, can provide appropriate personnel to the JAGIC as required. The field artillery brigade gives the supported commander a headquarters to plan, synchronize, and execute close support fires for engaged forces, and it provides strike, counter fire, and fires in support of decisive and shaping operations throughout the command’s area of operations. The field artillery brigade is capable of employing or coordinating the employment of Army indirect fires, joint air and surface fires, and multinational fires. (See FM 3-09, chapter 1, for additional information on the field artillery brigade.) DIVISION AIRSPACE ELEMENT 2-36. The division airspace element is responsible for integrating and deconflicting all airspace users operating inside division-controlled airspace during planning, preparation, and execution. It accomplishes this by providing support to the future operations and plans cells for the division’s consolidated unit airspace plan and ACO inputs. The airspace element derives these products from collecting, collating, and deconflicting the subordinate brigade’s unit airspace plans, and submitting the planned control measures through the BCD to the JAOC for development of the ACO. It responds to the JAGIC for the execution and assessment of current operations. When the division employs a JAGIC, the airspace element co-locates the necessary current operations airspace personnel and equipment in the JAGIC. The airspace element personnel working in the JAGIC direct the assessment of airspace use and make execution adjustments to the previously developed airspace plan, and execute immediate airspace requests based on emerging requirements. While JAGIC collaboration improves airspace control in the division, JAGIC does not change airspace control responsibilities and tasks as outlined in FM 3-52. (For further information on airspace control authorities, responsibilities and tasks during execution and assessment see FM 3-52, chapter 4.) COMBAT AVIATION BRIGADE 2-37. The JAGIC does not provide mission command of Army aviation units. However, it must have situational awareness of Army aviation operations in order to incorporate them into the division airspace plan. This ensures friendly force identification and the prevention of fratricide. CAB personnel provide the JAGIC with real-time information on individual flights, and the control measures required to facilitate those flights, i.e. standard army aircraft flight routes (SAAFR) and air corridors (AIRCOR), so airspace personnel can integrate them into division airspace operations. Furthermore the CAB owns the division’s only air traffic services company and the AIC within. The AIC is instrumental in providing C2 for select areas on the battlefield and airfields. When tasked, it can help augment the airspace control capabilities in the JAGIC. If the division JAGIC needs to displace, the AIC can be used by the division to assist the temporary JAGIC to control division assigned airspace. (See chapter 3 of this publication for more information.) AIR DEFENSE AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT/BRIGADE AVIATION ELEMENT 2-38. All BCTs and multifunctional brigades (except sustainment) have an organic ADAM/BAE, or in the cases of CABs and MEBs at least an ADAM, responsible for integrating brigade airspace, including AMD and aviation functions. The ADAM/BAE coordinates with higher, subordinate, and adjacent elements to maximize the efficiency of procedural airspace control and the lethality of weapons systems. The ADAM/BAE develops, coordinates, and executes requirements at brigade level and below. The ADAM/BAE receives ACMREQs from subordinate units or develops airspace requirements during the military decision making process and submits them in the form of a unit airspace plan to the division airspace element for inclusion in the ACO during planning, and as updates to the division airspace overlay during execution. The ADAM/BAE can accomplish these tasks through several mediums, but the TAIS is the Army’s program of record for doing so. During mission execution, the ADAM/BAE coordinates directly with the JAGIC for all dynamic airspace requirements. The ADAM/BAE works closely with the brigade fire support and TACP personnel to ensure all airspace requirements are in accordance with the commander’s priorities. JAGIC Army airspace personnel distribute all immediate ACMs to ADAM/BAE
