  Figure 6-1. ADA brigade AMD control relationships
  6-13. As a part of exercising C2 over subordinate ADA organizations, the ADA brigade also focuses on
  building, and potentially controlling, cohesive joint and multinational teams responsible for executing the
  AMD mission in a given area of operations. The ability of the ADA brigade to operate in the joint and
  multinational environment, with ever changing METT-TC factors that influence this environment, is
  critically important. In situations where an AAMDC is not present, the brigade can expect to coordinate with
  and support multiple joint, multinational and Army headquarters, including the joint air operations center
  (JAOC), regional and sector air defense command centers, multinational AMD headquarters, Army division,
  corps, or numbered Army headquarters, and, in some circumstances, host nation airspace control elements.
  6-14. The ADA brigade, through its AMDPCS and via tactical data links, provides the necessary situational
  awareness to joint and multinational partners which enhances the timely and required decision making to
  support unified land operations. The AMDPCS provides the ADA brigade with some flexible capability:
  support to current operations and sustainment, and support to future operations or a capability to support
  forward operations − a jump capability.
  6-15. An ADA brigade can provide C2 of subordinate units, to include a multinational task force.
  Engagement operations are controlled through the ADA brigade ADAFCO deployed with the SADC, for
  instance. Control of subordinate forces is exercised through tactical data links and voice communications.
  The brigade may operate an FCE to battle manage engagement operations of subordinate battalions, generally
  in a management by exception role. The normal mode of operations is for the ADAFCO supporting the
  SADC to provide engagement authority directly to the battalion/separate battery capable of executing the
  engagement.
  FORCE OPERATIONS
  6-16. Historically, the brigade focuses on training and certifying subordinate units to execute their AMD
  mission while providing and/or coordinating all the administrative, operational, logistical, and special staff
