Helicopter Control.(1) During ship-to-shore movement, helicopter units are directed by the amphibious task force commander whoexercises his control through the tactical air control center (TACC). In the assault of a hostile shore, the TACCdelegates control to the tactical air direction center(TADC) for coordination of the overall air effort. TheTADC further decentralizes specific control of individualhelicopters to the helicopter direction center (HDC),a subordinate control agency of the TADC located inthe flagship of the helicopter carriers.(2) Helicopter operations on the flight deck and in the vicinityof the ship are controlled by Primary Flight Control(PriFly), which is located in the carrier island. Its function is identical to that of an airfield control tower.(3) The shuttle system of movement from an aircraft to alanding zone ashore requires additional helicopter control from within the landing zone. This control is normally exercised by pathfinders or a Navy landing controlparty./. Communications. The debarkation control organization cannot function effectively without wire communications. The ship'ssound power system is not adequate for debarkation control; therefore, additional wire circuits are installed between the flight andhangar decks at the No. 2 and No. 3 elevators. An additional fieldtelephone circuit is installed in PriFly and connected by directwire to the two flight deck stations. The helicopter unit representative in PriFly can thus coordinate flight and debarkation operations.76 AGO 2294B
