JP 3-01 Countering Air and Missile Threats - Defense Innovation ...

Chapter II
(11) Make OCA attack operations recommendations to the JFC/JFACC to help
counter the air and missile threat. The AADC should prioritize those desired effects to be
created to support achievement of objectives through OCA.
(12) As approved by the JFC, coordinate with supported/supporting commands for
cross-AOR operations (e.g., cross-AOR BMD).
f. DAADC. When a significant portion of the DCA capability is contributed by a
component other than that of the AADC, a senior officer from that component may be
designated by the JFC or AADC as a DAADC. DAADC responsibilities include assisting in
AADP development; integrating respective component and multinational AMD into DCA
operations; and advising on ROE, ACMs, weapons control measures, air defense warnings
(ADW), and respective component AMD operations and capabilities. As the senior Army
air defender, the commander, AAMDC, is normally designated as a DAADC and advises the
AADC on the best distribution of the Army AMD capabilities between the requirements for
the theater level DAL and maneuver forces of the ARFOR/JFLCC. As a DAADC, the
commander, AAMDC, will deploy personnel and equipment to the JAOC.
Note: The Army BCD normally deployed to the Air Force air and space operations center or
the JAOC is only a liaison element. Although the BCD has an AD section, responsibility to
integrate the ARFOR AMDs resides with the senior ADA commander, normally the
commander, AAMDC.
8. Regional and Sector Air Defense Commanders
During complex operations/campaigns conducted in a large JOA/theater of operations,
the AADC may recommend and the JFC may approve the division of the operational area
into separate AD regions, each with a RADC who could be delegated responsibilities and
decision-making authority for DCA operations within the region. The AADC and RADC, as
approved by the JFC, may choose to further divide regions into sectors, each with a SADC
with appropriate authority for their responsibilities. Generally, the regions/sectors are based
on geographic size and obstacles/features overland. When RADCs/SADCs are employed in
support of BMD operations, regional/sector boundaries are normally assigned on the basis of
predicted BM impact points. The open ocean and littorals normally are part of a maritime
AO/region and the RADC/SADC may be afloat, so its complete integration with the
bordering land-based RADC/SADC and the AADC is essential to prevent a seam in the
IADS. The core of a RADC/SADC is a Service component air control/AD organization
with the necessary situational awareness and communications links up to the
AADC/JFACC/JFC, down to the tactical units’ operation centers, and laterally to other
RADCs/SADCs. A tactical data link (TDL) such as Link 16 enables sharing of the CTP
between Service systems and RADCs/SADCs. The COP at the higher echelons, normally a
Global Command and Control System (GCCS) environment, includes the Link 16 CTP data.
a. The maritime component (NAVFOR/JFMCC) normally has the open ocean and
littorals as a region with a Navy AMDC on an Aegis ship, but the littorals also could be
covered by a Navy tactical air control center (TACC) or Marine TAOC. Over land, there
