opment of the ADA concept of operations are theater characteristics, the type
of operation (close, deep, and rear), and passive air defense measures available
to the force.
6-88. The ADA concept of operation, by integrating active and passive air and
missile defense into all operations, not only protects the force but also makes
the enemy doubt his ability to conduct successful air operations. The concept
of operation outlines the best mix, mass, mobility, and integration of ADA assets
required for accomplishing each task.

6-89. Forces require all-altitude protection from enemy surveillance and attacks
in mature theaters. Forces in the mature theater are not homogeneous.
At the division level, forces tend to be highly mobile and hardened. Their
mission requires a maneuver orientation and highly mobile air defense forces.
Divisional forces are particularly vulnerable during offensive missions such
as deep operations beyond the FLOT. In cross-FLOT operations, enemy air
defense may preclude friendly close air support (CAS). Therefore, the forward
deployed ground forces in the division must depend primarily on ADA. To
support the division during offensive missions, the corps commander may
reinforce the divisional ADA battalion with high-to medium-altitude systems
and, possibly, additional low-altitude systems.
6-90. Contingency theaters require ADA coverage for each stage of the operation.
During the pre-deployment activities, analysis of the air threat identifies
the air and missile defense requirements. In the deployment stage, ADA
