Chapter 3 3-4 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 17 April 2019 scenario it may be impracticable for a division to integrate all airspace users without disturbing or negating corps effects. A multinational corps fighting with multinational divisions unprepared to integrate the capabilities of an ASOC, or organize as a JAGIC, presents a dilemma with the division JAGIC technique. The corps may advocate for different CAs within the corps boundaries based on subordinate divisions capabilities to control airspace. This technique will help because the corps area of operations is often too large for a single JAGIC to procedurally control a large number of airspace users. Corps headquarters operating as senior tactical headquarters without assigned divisions. In some tactical scenarios corps might be maneuvering brigades without division command posts to integrate effects. When the corps is acting as the tactical integrator it should employ a JAGIC. Early in an operation, corps command posts may be more expeditionary than division command posts and could be the first mission command node controlling fixed formations. In this scenario the corps may incorporate a subordinate division’s JAGIC into an early entry command post. OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIVE CAPABILITIES 3-9. While conducting large-scale combat operations, the division main command post and TAC must remain mobile to defeat the threat of enemy fires and to facilitate maneuver and follow-on operations. The JAGIC as part of the COIC will not remain static for several days or weeks as it would during security and stability operations. For these reasons, the JAGIC members, both Army and Air Force, must remain adaptive and ready to perform the JAGIC functions from vehicles, containers, and hasty shelters, and as a distributive capability during TAC movements or command post displacements. 3-10. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to a fixed JAGIC design for operations when COIC members can occupy the same command post. This is a proven design and allows the ASOC portion of the JAGIC to remain integral. To support large-scale operations, division command posts and ASOSs must explore adaptations to this design and incorporate new techniques into their TACSOPs. Given the current Army and Air Force material solutions for communications and mobility, JAGIC teams should experiment and aid the division command posts in becoming more mobile and distributive. TECHNIQUES FOR MOVING THE JAGIC 3-11. Regardless of the division command post’s design, all divisions must be prepared to relocate and develop distributive capabilities to facilitate relocation. Command post displacement places stress on the division to sustain a JAGIC capability. The foremost requirement is to maintain airspace control and enable division and joint fires. The ACA is responsible to the JFC to ensure the airspace control elements and procedures support all joint operations and forces. The division deliberately plans the JAGIC displacement and coordinates procedures with the ACA in the event the JAGIC is unable to maintain airspace control. Movement of the JAGIC will place a burden on units’ resources that are external to the division headquarters. Here are two recommended steps: (1) Prepare, tailor, and relocate a distributive JAGIC capability to a TAC command post, (2) task an AIC, usually organic to the CAB, F Company of the General Support Aviation Battalion (GSAB), and, or subordinate ADAMs to assist with temporary JAGIC responsibilities when the command post displaces. Developing distributive capabilities and leveraging other division assets is the only effective means of conducting displacements while maintaining a JAGIC capability to control the division assigned airspace. 3-12. Recommendations for JAGIC personnel and equipment to move to the TAC for the purpose of displacement are as follows: Note. This compliment of personnel represents 12 hours of sustained capabilities. For 24 hours of sustained capabilities, each service member will have to have an additional compliment displace with them to the TAC command post. Additionally, Service members and equipment required for operation of the mission command and joint C2 systems listed below must relocate to the TAC without degrading capabilities in the main command post. Lastly, the SAD must either be dual hatted as the ASM or add the ASM to the list.
