4-8 provide air defense. The early introduction of Hawk fire units and EW/C radar/control elements ashore extends shipboard weapons employment, radar surveillance, identification, and coordination/control capabilities. Hawk fire units and EW/C sites provide initial, medium altitude engagement and early warning, cueing, and surveillance capabilities against the enemy air and missile threat (including TBMs). General support Stinger platoon commander(s)/section leader(s) may collocate at op-erational Hawk fire units to facilitate the exchange of surveillance/identification information with the EW/C, Hawk, landward SAAWC (Navy or Marine), and air warfare commander (AWC). The ACE commander (normally through the SAAWC/TAOC) activates a Hawk unit’s MEZ once the Hawk unit is operational. The TAOC must coordinate flight paths to prevent landing force aircraft from penetrating a MEZ unless absolutely necessary. Typically, the activation of a MEZ changes the RTF/ROE procedures used during the initial assault phase. All control agencies, controllers, and aircrews must adhere to the new RTF/ROE procedures. As additional Hawk fire units and general support Stinger assets move ashore, the remainder of the TAOC’s equipment and personnel also phases ashore. Liaison is established with the landward sector SAAWC to coordinate MAGTF AAW operations. Once the TAOC and other GBAD assets are operational, they establish and maintain the required voice and digital information links with the landward sector SAAWC. Transfer of Control Ashore MCWP 3-25.7 The CLF establishes air control facilities ashore as soon as possible. These facilities provide increased surveillance and quicker response and extend the ATF’s weapons control capabilities. Initially, air control agencies ashore operate as an adjunct to agencies afloat. The TAOC and/or EW/C agencies ashore assist as needed and monitor air control aspects (including communication circuits) directly related to their tasking. The CATF decides when to pass authority from agencies afloat to ashore. Control agencies afloat continue to monitor communications and serve as a backup to shore-based air C 2 agencies in the case that the shore-based units become casualties. Surveillance. Before transferring control of air operations to the MACCS units ashore, the ACE commander must establish an integrated and comprehensive surveillance plan for the MAGTF. Surveillance resources are employed ashore based on their capability and coverage. Therefore, the ACE
TAOC <strong>Handbook</strong> commander, staff, and subordinate commanders must thoroughly analyze the surveillance requirements for the MAGTF’s assigned sector addressing issues which include terrain and its masking effects, threat axis of attack, and available surveillance resources. Other factors to consider are— The location of the TAOC, EW/C, and Hawk fire platoons. The Hawk’s weapons engagement and surveillance capability. The ability of MATCDs to augment the surveillance system. The location of Stinger/Avenger sections/teams (in general support/direct support). FEZ(s) orientation. ACE planners must also identify any other specific requirements for aircraft surveillance capabilities (e.g., AWACS or AEW) to the ACE commander. Once the surveillance system is established, the TAOC’s surveillance section coordinates input from the TAOC’s sensors and all other surveillance sources. Through this compilation of air track information, the TAOC is able to effectively identify detected air tracks and build a comprehensive air picture. Control. As MACCS agencies are established ashore and become operational, tactical control of various portions of the air operation may be transferred ashore. WEZs are established and GBAD units are assigned specific MEZs. As the MAGTF’s IADS of interlocking engagement zones is established, changes to RTF/ROE procedures may occur. Once the TAOC is ashore and operational, tactical control of landward sector air defense (including TMD) may be phased ashore to the LF (Marine) SAAWC. Once all MAGTF resources are operational, successful execution of the MAGTF airdefense plan addresses asset apportion- ment/allocation, coordination, C 2 , and management. .
