Chapter 2 2-8 FM 3-09 30 April 2020 JOINT AIR GROUND INTEGRATION CENTER 2-27. Located in the Army division current operations integration cell, the JAGIC provides commander’s a technique to coordinate, integrate, and control operations in division-assigned airspace and efficiently collaborate requirements with external airspace elements outside of the division area. The JAGIC co-locates decision making authorities from the land and air component to support the supported maneuver commander's objectives and intent. The JAGIC facilitates effective mission execution while managing the level of risk. Refer to ATP 3-91.1 for detailed description of the JAGIC. FIELD ARTILLERY BRIGADE FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT 2-28. The FAB has an FSE HQs, an air support section, an air defense airspace management (ADAM) element, an information operations section, and a protection and lethal effects element. Each of the elements assists the current operations integration cell by providing additional expertise or dedicated manpower on an as needed basis. All elements in the FSE assist with planning by providing expertise or dedicated manpower on an as needed basis. The FAB FSE can augment a corps FSE as needed. For more information on the FAB FSE see ATP 3-09.24. GENERAL FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT FUNCTIONS AT ECHELONS ABOVE BRIGADE 2-29. General FSE functions include: Plan, integrate, coordinate, and synchronize joint fires.

Provide input to the information collection plan to synchronize surveillance and reconnaissance assets with named areas of interest and designated targets in coordination with the all source analysis section. Coordinate position areas for FA units under corps control with maneuver and airspace control agencies. Monitor the ATO and process joint-surveillance and target attack radar systems targets. BRIGADE COMBAT TEAM FIRE SUPPORT ELEMENT 2-30. The BCT FSE plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and deconflicts the employment and assessment of FS for both current and future operations. This includes FA, mortar, electronic attack, air support, naval surface fires support and other joint assets. The Air Force TACP typically collocates with the BCT FSE. The BCT FSE works closely with BN FSEs and company FIST. These organizations ensure responsive and effective fire support is provided to their respective maneuver commanders and actions are closely coordinated through the BCT main CP and FSE. For more information on the BCT FSE see ATP 3- 09.42.
