The Joint Air Ground Integration Center Description, Functions, and Organization 17 April 2019 ATP 3-91.1/AFTTP 3-2.86 1-9 can be brought to bear effectively against friendly forces, or to otherwise achieve objectives that are conducted at such distances from friendly forces that detailed integration of each air mission with the fire and movement of friendly forces is not required (JP 3-03). The targeting officer works with the interdiction coordinator and the special operations forces (SOF) fires liaison to identify and validate potential dynamic high value targets. 1-29. A targeting officer or field artillery intelligence officer (FAIO) normally supports the G-2 all-source collections element (ACE) and sends targets of opportunity that meet established criteria to the JAGIC for prosecution. The FAIO will perform target validation and meet other targeting requirements as needed before sending targets to the JAGIC for engagement. Targeting requirements the FAIO does not satisfy need to be performed by the JAGIC targeting officer. Normally the FAIO and the JAGIC targeting officer work closely to exchange target information and verify targeting options using the Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS). Fire Control Noncommissioned Officer 1-30. The fire control noncommissioned officer (NCO) manages the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) database. The fires control NCO also manages selection of available delivery capabilities. Additionally, the fire control NCO oversees fire mission execution and FSCM distribution. Fire Support Noncommissioned Officer 1-31. The fire support NCO assists the JAGIC chief and the fire control NCO as required. Air and Missile Defense 1-32. Division AMD personnel in the JAGIC provide the division tactical airspace picture for the assigned operational area. They synchronize and populate the tactical air picture through links established predominately with nonorganic sensors. The AMD personnel are responsible for synchronizing AMD operations and assisting the airspace personnel in resolving immediate airspace conflicts. The AMD element, separate from its JAGIC representatives, plans division sensor coverage locations in accordance with the commander’s priorities. It also monitors weapons systems coverage, weapons control status, identification authorities, and early warning in coordination with other Army, joint, and multinational units for complementary defense coverage against enemy air and missile threats. Air and Missile Defense Officer 1-33. The AMD officer oversees AMD operations and personnel in the JAGIC. The AMD officer works closely with the airspace element to resolve both immediate and planned airspace conflicts. The AMD chief monitors AMD engagement operations in the division area of operations. Furthermore, the AMD officer can assist with identifying and targeting enemy air defense fires when non-organic sensors publish the event to a mission command system within the JAGIC. Air and Missile Defense Noncommissioned Officer 1-34. The AMD NCO assists the AMD officer with maintaining situational awareness of sensor coverage to ensure correct friendly force identification by differentiating friendly forces from enemy or unknown aerial platforms including UAS platforms. Additionally, the AMD NCO maintains status of air defense overlays, weapons control statuses, rules of engagements, sensor coverages, and early warning systems. During execution the AMD NCO may receive updated air defense measure and airspace coordinating measure requests (ACMREQ) for tactical air defense assets from air defense airspace management/brigade aviation elements (ADAM/BAE) in the division, and coordinates airspace coordinating measure (ACM) activation with the JAGIC airspace element to update the division unit airspace plan in the tactical airspace integration system (TAIS). Airspace coordinating measures are measures employed to facilitate the efficient use of airspace to accomplish mission and simultaneously provide safeguards for friendly forces JP 3-52). The AMD NCO— Assists the airspace element with airspace deconfliction. Monitors, maintains, and updates the common tactical picture (CTP).
