Within a unified comm<strong>and</strong>, subordinate unified comm<strong>and</strong>, or joint<br />
task force, the comm<strong>and</strong>er will assign overall responsibility for <strong>air</strong><br />
<strong>defense</strong> to a single comm<strong>and</strong>er. Normally this will be the component<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>er with the preponderance of <strong>air</strong> <strong>defense</strong> capability <strong>and</strong> the<br />
C4 capability to plan <strong>and</strong> execute integrated <strong>air</strong> <strong>defense</strong> <strong>operations</strong>.<br />
Representation from the other components involved will be<br />
provided, as appropriate, to the AADC’s headquarters.<br />
(DOD, NATO) A geographical area wherein a comm<strong>and</strong>er is directly<br />
capable of influencing <strong>operations</strong> by maneuver or fire support<br />
systems normally under the comm<strong>and</strong>er's comm<strong>and</strong> or control.<br />
That area of concern to the comm<strong>and</strong>er, including the area of<br />
influence, areas adjacent thereto, <strong>and</strong> extending into enemy<br />
territory to the objectives of current or planned <strong>operations</strong>. This<br />
area also includes areas occupied by enemy forces that could<br />
jeopardize the accomplishment of the mission. The AOI for ADA<br />
comm<strong>and</strong>ers includes all areas from which the enemy could launch<br />
<strong>air</strong>craft or <strong>missile</strong>s against the protected force. Also called AOI. See<br />
also area of influence.<br />
An operational area defined by the joint force comm<strong>and</strong>er for l<strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> naval forces. Areas of operation do not typically encompass the<br />
entire operational area of the joint force comm<strong>and</strong>er, but should be<br />
large enough for component comm<strong>and</strong>ers to accomplish their<br />
missions <strong>and</strong> protect their forces. Also called AO.<br />
ADA units are typically assigned an AO also. This area is actually<br />
three-dimensional as it encompasses the <strong>air</strong>space above. The AO<br />
may be called a <strong>missile</strong>, joint, or SHORAD engagement zone (MEZ,<br />
JEZ, SHORADEZ). It may not exactly correspond to the supported<br />
unit AO.<br />
The geographical area associated with a combatant comm<strong>and</strong> within<br />
which a combatant comm<strong>and</strong>er has authority to plan <strong>and</strong> conduct<br />
<strong>operations</strong>. 2. In naval <strong>us</strong>age, a predefined area of enemy terrain for<br />
which supporting ships are responsible for covering by fire on<br />
known targets or targets of opportunity <strong>and</strong> by observation. Also<br />
called AOR.<br />
