  AAMDC COMPOSITION
  5-5. The AAMDC is staffed for its primary role to plan for U.S. and multinational land-based AMD forces
  and integrate these forces and their defenses into the AADC’s overall AMD plan. The AAMDC is an
  organization of either wholly active or reserve component ADA, fire support, aviation, intelligence, CBRN,
  signal, and sustainment personnel melded into an effective AMD team. All AAMDCs are constructed based
  on a core table of organization and equipment but are staffed somewhat differently to meet unique regional
  challenges in performing their missions. The organizational structure of the AAMDC consists of a command
  section and twelve subordinate sections: the chief of staff, G-1 (Personnel), G-2 (Intelligence), G-3
  (Operations), G-4 (Logistics), G-6 (Communications/Electronics), inspector general, public affairs, staff
  judge advocate, unit ministry team, battery headquarters, and motor maintenance. Strategic planning and
  resource management functions (G-5/G-8) are performed by designated personnel from within the existing
  staff structure. An example of a typical AAMDC organizational structure is shown in figure 5-1.
