Joint Air Ground Integration Center Operations 17 April 2019 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 2-13 personnel through the ACO over TAIS. ADAM/BAEs then distribute them to subordinate units. (See FM 3-52 for more on the ADAM/BAE’s roles and responsibilities.) MANEUVER ENHANCEMENT BRIGADE’S AIR DEFENSE AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT 2-39. MEBs are doctrinally assigned areas of operations. They accomplish command and control of assigned forces, security operations, and may need to employ fires and CAS. In large-scale combat operations with a peer or near-peer enemy, MEBs are provided tactical combat force (TCF) maneuver units, and organic, or at a minimum, on call fires. The MEB may conduct area and route security, using ground forces and UAS, and can respond to various levels of enemy threats with internal unit forces, quick reaction forces, or employing the tactical combat force. The MEB’s ADAM is the lightest manned of the brigade level ADAM-style organizations, but remains staffed and equipped with air defense and airspace management capabilities. The MEB plans for and coordinates airspace requirements, and executes airspace operations and fires, as operational requirements necessitate. Often the MEB’s AO is the location of choice for sustainment unit basing, including logistics, maintenance, resupply, and medical support operations. Aerial support to these sustainment operations can place significant demands on maneuver airspace and integration in division airspace operations. BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM FIRES CELL 2-40. The JAGIC coordinates with BCT fires cells for the execution of fires in support of current operations. The JAGIC ensures BCT fires cells have current FSCMs and ACMs and that all BCT fires are executed within BCT airspace parameters. The JAGIC may also execute fires through BCT fires cells in specific situations when the brigade’s fires assets are required to prosecute a target. BRIGADE AND BATTALION TACTICAL AIR CONTROL PARTIES 2-41. Brigade and battalion TACPs provide commanders, operations officers, and fires cells with liaisons to joint C2 nodes controlling joint fires assets. They advise the commander on the capabilities and limitations of air operations, and they provide assistance with planning for and integrating airpower into ground operations. They also provide primary terminal attack control of CAS. The brigade and battalion JTACs execute CAS missions in the brigade or battalion areas of operation.
