17 April 2019 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 B-1 Appendix B Joint Air Ground Integration Center Systems Configuration JOINT C2 AND ARMY MISSION COMMAND SYSTEMS B-1. The following explanations for JAGIC systems, and systems external to the JAGIC, are by no means all-encompassing. Systems integration is challenging work, and the training required to integrate and operate JAGIC systems is extensive. This appendix is designed for the uninitiated to gain a working understanding for at least some of the system capabilities and requirements within the JAGIC. Joint C2 and Army mission command systems explanation begins with the theater battle management core systems (TBMCS). TBMCS are force-level integrated air C2 systems. While most TBMCS do not reside in the JAGIC, several subapplications do. The TBMCS provides hardware, software, and communications interfaces to support the preparation, modification, and dissemination of the force-level air battle plan. The air battle plan includes the air tasking order and airspace control order. The TBMCS supports the development and sharing of a relevant COP of theater air and surface activity. Common TBMCS applications and interfaces provide a network for joint force data sharing. The TBMCS intelligence and targeting applications at the theater JFACC level, at the ASOC, and at the direct air support center support the coordination of precision engagement fires, safe passage zones, and near real-time warnings of impending air attack. The air and surface surveillance and weapons coordination engagement options enable synchronized operations and employment of the correct weapons for each target to generate the desired effects. The primary users of TBMCS subapplications in the JAGIC are the SAD, the procedural controllers, the Air Force airspace manager, the air tasking order manager (ATOM), the JARNO, interface control technician, and the Air Force ASOC intelligence officer or technician. The primary subapplications used in TBMCS include the WARP, the web-based airspace deconfliction, and the execution status and monitoring tool. These subapplications are described in paragraphs B-2 through B-4 and are depicted in figure B-1 on page B-2, as TBMCS clients alongside other JAGIC and Army mission command systems described in paragraphs B-6 through B-14.
