SEAD missions are executed differently depending on the target type and priority. In most cases, airborne SEAD requests are submitted directly to the JAOC for execution and to the JAGIC to support (as required). If the JAOC-controlled airborne SEAD missions are not available, the JAGIC will consider other attack options in coordination with the JAOC. The JAGIC may be called to execute SEAD with surface fires or CAS aircraft. Paragraphs A-26 through A-28 provide an outline of how SEAD is executed by the JAGIC. A-27. The tasks involved in executing SEAD missions are similar to those of a surface fires request. SEAD targets are identified and enter the JAGIC from sources including the JAOC, the G-2, JTACs, FSEs, and SOF. Once the target is received, JAGIC members (from both Services) work on attack options. The targeting officer or a qualified representative, working closely with the fire control NCO, performs weaponeering functions to determine if field artillery fires are an acceptable option. The fires cell will also ensure that SEAD effects do not violate any FSCMs or pose unacceptable risks to friendly units. The ATOM coordinates with the JAOC to determine if air component assets are available or if CAS or other attack options are better suited for the mission. A-28. The SAD or JAGIC chief coordinates attack options after internal and external coordination actions are complete. If the JAOC designates the JAGIC for mission execution, the targeting officer or representative, or JARNO, assigns a target number and the Army airspace personnel or the ASM build and activate ACMs as required. The next step depends on which Service provides the attack option. A-29. If the JAGIC chief selects a ground attack method, the fire control NCO transmits the mission to the appropriate firing unit and supervises execution until complete. If the JAGIC chief selects an air attack
