  comply with procedures and weapons control measures established bythe AADC. The AADC exercises a
  degree of control of all systems through established guidelines, determines weapons control status, and
  joint force commander-approved procedural controls. (Refer to FM 3-01 and JP 3-01 for more
  information.)
  3-44. Once adequate airspace ground controlcapabilitieshave beenestablished in the airhead, fire support
  coordination responsibilities are passed from the airborne platform to the ground to be conducted as in
  other operations. (There is no doctrinal time for this transfer.) In some situations, this cannot occur;
  however, in most cases once a BCT main or tactical command post is on the ground, the transfer takes
  place.
  PERMISSIVEANDRESTRICTIVECONTROLMEASURES
  3-45. Firesupportcoordinationmeasures(FSCMs)bothpermissiveandrestrictive,areemployedtoensure
  the safety of friendly personnel, to synchronize all fire support means, and to permit maximum flexibility
  with minimum restrictions on the employment of fire support. A common target and map grid system is
  established to permittransmissionoftargetand friendlyunitlocations.This iscritical if standard mapsare
  not available. Provisions must be made to identify friendly force locations through the employment of
  smoke,panels,beacons,orotherdevices.(RefertoFM 3-90-1 formoreinformation.)
  DETERMINE GO/NO-GO CRITERIA
  3-46. Abort criteria is a predetermined set of circumstances, based on risk assessment, which makes the
  success of an operation no longer probable; thus, the operation is terminated. These circumstances can
  relate to changes in safety, equipment or troops available, preparation or rehearsal time, weather, enemy,
  shaping operations prior to execution of the airborne assault, or a combination of the above. In the
  development of a course of action (during the preparation and deployment phase), airborne assault go/no-

  AIRFIELD OPENING
  3-47. When developing an operation that may include an airfield opening, entry force tactical planners
  must have an understanding of the planning factors to consider for airfield opening in a hostile or
  permissive environment. Planners with specific airfield opening expertise to include the designation of a
