  SUPPORT TO JOINT AIR AND MISSILE DEFENSE
  10-5. ADAM cell personnel in BCTs serve as the conduit for AMD information transmitted by the AAMDC
  ADAFCO or, more likely, the ADA brigade ADAFCO. ADAM cell personnel support the conduct of AMD
  operations in the brigade’s area of operations, primarily with respect to UASs (groups 2 and 3) and rotary-
  wing aircraft.
  10-6. ADAM cell personnel monitor engagements and advise the ADAFCO of air activity in the BCT’s area.
  They also report the locations and actions of a supporting ADA unit as required. In addition, the ADAFCO
  relies on the ADAM cell for information on the BCT’s operating environment when the BCT area of
  operations encompasses the ADAFCO’s region or sector, or portions thereof.
  SUPPORT TO UNIFIED LAND OPERATIONS
  10-7. ADAM cell personnel at division and corps levels coordinate and assist in the planning of AMD
  operations when ADA forces are placed in support of, or operate within, the areas of operations of those
  organizations. The ADA officer is the resident AMD coordinator at each echelon.
  * ADAM cell personnel at the corps, or division when a corps headquarters is not present, are linked
  to the AAMDC in theater and ADAFCO at the JAOC or regional/sector centers for planning and
  coordination. The AAMDC advises ADAM cell personnel of the overall AMD plan for the area
  of operations, the projected locations of ADA units within the corps’ or division’s area of
  operations, and the allocation of ADA units to support land forces. ADAM cell personnel advise
  the AAMDC of their commander’s intent, the designated critical assets, and the proposed positions
  of the supporting ADA units.
  * ADAM cell personnel ensure that AMD operations are supportive of the corps/division
  commander’s intent, while simultaneously synchronized with the overall AMD plan.
  * ADAM cell personnel also coordinate with the supporting ADA brigade, task force, or task-
  organized battery to ensure common understanding of AMD capabilities and mission
  requirements.
  10-8. ADA personnel in the BCT ADAM cells advise the brigade commander of RAM and UAS
  engagements, coordinate with a supporting ADA task force or task-organized battery for defense of critical
  assets, and assist in the coordination of the airspace to facilitate rapid, unimpeded engagements.
  * ADA personnel synchronize AMD operations with the commander’s scheme of maneuver.
  * They contribute to the commander’s aerial situational awareness by connecting to appropriate joint
  and multinational elements and providing a common air picture at the unit level.
  * They transmit airspace data to maneuver elements at the tactical edge of the close area to enable
  awareness of the air picture, initiation of passive defense measures, and execution of appropriate
  self-defense actions.
  10-9. Planning and coordination between the corps-, division-, and brigade-level ADAM cells, and with
  supporting ADA forces, are continuous. Plans and operations are reviewed and adjusted in accordance with
  changes to commanders’ priorities, increases or decreases in threat activity, and friendly force situations.
  ADAM CELL COMPOSITION
  10-10. ADAM cells are organic to corps, divisions, BCTs, field artillery brigades, maneuver enhancement
  brigades, and theater/combat aviation brigades. They provide resident AMD expertise, coordination, and
  integration with other Army airspace and joint AMD and airspace authorities.
  10-11. In corps and divisions, the cells consist of ADA Soldiers who provide AMD planning expertise to
  the commander and staff. At brigade level, the cells contain ADA and aviation Soldiers, in a combined
  ADAM/brigade aviation element, whose duties focus on airspace management. While the aviation personnel
  are integral to ADAM cell operations, they will only be discussed minimally in this chapter, primarily with
  respect to airspace management. Refer to ATP 3-01.50 for a more detailed discussion.
