5-40. The DAADC, combined with a robust AAMDC liaison team to support
the AADC/DAADC relationship, provides the following support to the AADC:
• Integrates land-based active defense and ADA forces with the
defensive counterair (DCA) plan.
• Advises the AADC regarding weapons control procedures and
recommended or implemented airspace control measures, air defense
warnings, weapon control status, and emissions control measures.
• Assists the AADC with air defense plan development.
• Advises the AADC on matters regarding land-based active defense
operations and ensures effective integration of ARFOR assets into the
air defense plan.
• Advises the AADC about ARFOR air defense weapons capabilities.
5-41. Although the AAMDC commander may serve as a "deputy" AADC, it is
not envisioned that the DAADC would assume the role of the AADC if the
AADC were incapacitated. The DAADC is not a true deputy commander in
that sense. The DAADC's primary responsibilities are to assist the AADC in
planning, coordinating, integrating, and synchronizing land-based AD and
TMD systems. Neither the AAMDC commander nor his staff has the tactical,
technical, or procedural expertise and capability to perform all of the DCA
functions of an AADC in a joint environment.
ROLE OF THE AAMDC
5-42. The Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) performs
critical theater level air and missile defense planning, integration,
coordination, and execution functions for the Army forces (ARFOR)
commander and the Joint Forces Land Component Commander (JFLCC) if
designated (AAMDC does not conduct engagement operations). The AAMDC
integrates the four operational elements of TMD: active missile defense,
attack operations, passive missile defense, and command, control,
communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) to protect contingency,
forward deployed, and reinforcing forces as well as designated assets from the
CINC's defended asset list (DAL). The AAMDC consists of intelligence, fire
support, aviation, chemical, air defense artillery, special forces, and signal
personnel melded into an effective TMD team. The Commanding General
(CG) of the AAMDC performs three critical roles. The CG commands the
AAMDC and its subordinate echelons above corps (EAC) ADA brigades,
performs the functions of the TAAMDCOORD for the COMARFOR (or
JFLCC if designated), and performs the functions of the DAADC for the
AADC. The AAMDC normally locates with the ARFOR headquarters;
however, the location of the commander and the role he is performing is
dependent on METT-TC.
ROLE OF THE EAC ADA BRIGADE
5-43. The EAC ADA brigade missions at this level may have operational
significance, for example, theater level sustaining bases, military or political
headquarters, or ports of debarkation. The EAC ADA commander is
responsible for the planning and execution of ADA plans and missions at the
tactical level. He ensures that the EAC ADA brigade is integrated and
