WWW.SURVIVALEBOOKS.COM90 AFI10-207 4 APRIL 2008Air Mobility Division (AMD)—One of five divisions that make up the AOC. The AMD plans,coordinates, tasks and executes the air mobility mission. The AMD is comprised of five elements: AirMobility Control Team; Airlift Control Team; Aerial Refueling Control Team, Air Mobility Element, andthe Aeromedical Evacuation Control Team. The AMD is directed by the DIRMOBFOR.Air Mobility Element (AME)—The AME deploys to the theater as an extension of the AMC TACC.The AME may be requested when a DIRMOBFOR is established and TRANSCOM-assigned air mobilityaircraft are employed in support of aerospace operations. It becomes an element of the AMD. The AMEprovides air mobility integration and coordination of TRANSCOM-assigned air mobility forces. TheAME receives direction from the DIRMOBFOR and is the primary team for providing coordination withthe TACC. Direct-delivery inter-theater air mobility missions, if required, will be coordinated through theAMD and tasked by the AMC TACC. The TACC commander maintains OPCON of direct-deliverymissions during execution. The AME ensures the integration of inter-theater air mobility missions withintra-theater air and space operations planning. The Air Mobility Element coordinates with the TACC toresolve problems and provide C2 information on air mobility operations (i.e., deconflict use of airspace,airfield operations, and other assets to ensure the seamless integration of intra-theater and inter-theater airmobility operations).Air and Space Operations Center (AOC)—The senior agency of the Air Force component commanderthat provides command and control of Air Force air and space operations and coordinates with othercomponents and Services.Air Refueling Control Point (ARCP)—The planned geographic point over which the receiver(s) arrivesin the observation/precontact position with respect to the assigned tanker.Air Refueling Control Team (ARCT)—The ARCT plans and tasks air refueling missions to supporttheater aerospace operations and coordinates air refueling planning, tasking, and scheduling to support anair bridge and/or global attack missions within the AOR/JOA.Air Refueling Exit Point (A/R EXIT PT)—The designated geographic point at which the refuelingtrack terminates. In a refueling anchor it is a designated point where tanker and receiver may depart theanchor area after refueling is complete.Air Refueling Initial Point (ARIP)—A point located upstream from the ARCP at which the receiveraircraft initiates a rendezvous with the tanker.Air Refueling Track—A track designated for air refueling.Airlift Requirement—That tonnage (passengers, cargo, medical evacuees, and/or mail) required to beairlifted to or from an area during a definite period.Allowable Cabin Load (ACL)—The maximum payload that can be carried on a landing gross weight, orby the maximum zero fuel weight.Alternate Airfield—An airfield specified in a flight plan to which a flight may proceed when a landingat the point of first intended destination becomes inadvisable.AMC-Assigned Airlift Forces—Airlift forces assigned to AMC and over which AMC/CC exercisesoperational control.Anchor Refueling—Air refueling performed as the tankers maintain a prescribed pattern, which isanchored to a geographical point, or fix.
