  authority vested with a joint force commander that may be delegated to a subordinate commander that permits
  an engagement decision (JP 3-01). Figure 4-1 depicts both positions (for example, regional air defense
  commander [RADC]) and organizations (for example, Army corps), and thus does not necessarily imply the
  physical locations of ADA organizations nor parallelism between ADA organizations in the center of the
  figure and the Army maneuver echelons shown on the right.

  command, subordinate unified command, or joint task force responsible to the establishing commander for

  (JP 3-0). The joint force air component commander (JFACC) normally has operational control of their
  Service’s component forces and tactical control or direct support of the other forces made available for
  tasking. The JFACC, or the joint force maritime component commander in some circumstances, also typically
  serves as the airspace control authority and AADC, though these functions may be assigned to different
  individuals. As the airspace control authority, the JFACC coordinates use of the airspace through the airspace
  control plan and synchronizes/deconflicts all airspace user requirements through the airspace control order
  (see JP 3-52 for more information). As the AADC, the JFACC plans, coordinates, and integrates the joint
  force’s defensive counterair operations. The AADC’s responsibilities include developing and implementing
  identification procedures and authorities, developing and implementing engagement procedures, developing
  and executing plans for joint AMD operations, developing and transmitting AMD weapon control procedures
  and measures, and establishing air defense regions or sectors to enhance decentralized execution of defensive
  counterair missions. RADCs and subordinate sector air defense commanders (SADC)s may be appointed
  within large theaters of operations and are delegated responsibilities and decision-making authority for
  defensive counterair operations within their region or sector (JP 3-01). The AAMDC commander, as
  discussed in chapter 4, has responsibilities at the AADC level (for example, deputy AADC for AMD) and
  frequently is collocated with the AADC. The AAMDC headquarters may be collocated with the AADC at
