Mission ASOC MISSION • Provide tactical command and control to ensure the real- time synchronization and integration of offensive airpower with US and Coalition land forces anywhere in the world. Key tasks include: - Mobilize and deploy tasked personnel and resources - Provide Corps ALO/ASOC Director command and control architecture - Plan, coordinate, direct, control theater air forces directed by CFACC - Coordinate Close Air Support (CAS) operations within AOR - Coordinate air interdiction as assigned and directed by the CFACC - Provide operational control of subordinate tactical air control parties Execute in accordance with Land Component priorities but as directed by the CFACC. ASOC always works for and reports to the CFACC/CAOC. 8
DOC Tasks
• MOBILIZE AND DEPLOY TASKED PERSONNEL AND RESOURCES
• ESTABLISH, MAINTAIN & OPERATE THE JOINT AIR REQUEST NETWORK
• PLAN, COORDINATE, DIRECT, AND CONTROL THEATER AIR FORCES IN
SUPPORT OF LAND FORCES MANUEVER OBJECTIVES AS DIRECTED BY
THE JOINT FORCES AIR COMPONENT COMMANDER (JFACC)
• COORDINATE CLOSE AIR SUPPORT W/IN ASSIGNED AOR
• COORDINATE AIR INTERDICTION AS ASSIGNED AND/OR DIRECTED BY
JFACC
• PROVIDE OPCON OF SUBORDINATE TACTICAL AIR CONTROL PARTIES

10What does the ASOC do?
Close Air Support – Air action by fixed- and rotary-wing
aircraft against hostile targets that are in close proximity
to friendly forces and that require detailed integration of
each air mission with the fire and movement of those
forces.
This is why we have an ASOC but the ASOC integrates
land and airpower across the entire spectrum of
counterland execution.
11How does the ASOC work?
Two things make an ASOC function:
• Direct face-to-face contact with the Army
• Ensure airpower is being integrated with the ground
scheme of maneuver
• Connectivity to every player in the theater air ground
system
• If we can’t talk, we’re out of business
12How does the ASOC work?
The ASOC establishes and maintains connectivity in two
primary realms:
• Long-haul reach-back to the CAOC
• Provides our access to TBMCS and, if needed,
classified and unclassified telephone lines as well as
NIPRnet and SIPRnet
• Primarily satellite communications
• Tactical intra-theater communications
• Connectivity to downrange TACPs, CRCs, JSTARS,
AWACS, strike aircraft
• Can use UHF and VHF line of sight, Tactical Satellite
(TACSAT) links or HF 13Typical ASOC Layout
14Other Considerations
What the ASOC does for the Land Component:
• Interpret the SPINS and CFACC ROE
• Fight today’s Air-Ground fight with today’s CAS aircraft
on today’s ATO
• Distribute CAS aircraft based on the Ground Commander’s
guidance and intent
• Task XCAS and Scramble GCAS (when delegated)
• Coordinate with other ASOCs / DASC
• Request re-role of other assets (XCAS/XINT)
• Provide BDA assessment from both the aircraft and the TACP
• Provide Airpower expertise for planning tomorrow’s fight
• Advise the Corps Commander
15Other Considerations
What the ASOC needs from the Land Component:
• To be fully integrated into the operation
• Target Priorities
• We’ll hit what they tell us is important
• Killbox Priorities
• Land Component ROE (including Coalition)
• Airspace (ROZs) (opened and closed)
• ROZs are good, they keep aircraft away from artillery,
but too many can limit airpower effectiveness
16Other Considerations
What the ASOC does not do for the Land Component:
• Airlift – but we’ll point them the right way
• Submit inputs to the targeting process
• Fires Element submits to BCD – ALOs advise
• Apportion or Allocate air assets
• When CAS is allocated, we distribute missions
however the land component determine fits the
scheme of maneuver
As a front-line liaison, the ASOC is always available to
assist with these functions and to point the Army in the
right direction 17Other Considerations
What the ASOC does for the CAOC:
• Interpret “Army speak”
• Advise CAOC of upcoming changes in ground
scheme of maneuver (with Corps TACP)
• Plug-in at both the plans/MAAP and Strategic levels
• Advise CAOC of Army priorities
• Submit / coordinate on changes to the SPINS
as necessary for the theater
• Advise of possible surge points and suggest
potential MX reconstitution based on
operations
