  necessary coordination of fire support and associated RISTA, the operations
  section of the IFC headquarters also includes liaison teams from subordinate
  units. The resources section provides control and coordination of various
  logistics and administrative support functions.
  Artillery Component
  2-52. The artillery component is a task organization tailored for the conduct
  of artillery support during combat operations. In an OSC’s IFC, it is typically
  organized around one or more artillery brigades, or parts of these that are
  not allocated in a constituent or dedicated relationship to tactical-level sub-
  ordinates. The artillery component includes appropriate target acquisition,
  C2, and logistics support assets.
  2-53. The number of artillery battalions assigned to an IFC varies according
  such factors as mission of friendly units, the enemy situation, and terrain.
  However, the number of artillery units also can vary based on the capabili-
  ties of the supporting AFCS. For example, a multiple rocket launcher (MRL)
  brigade AFCS can have enough command and staff vehicles for the brigade
  commander and his chief of staff, as well as the subordinate commanders of
  battalions and up to 18 batteries (6 battalions). An AFCS supporting a can-
  non, MRL, or mortar battalion may consist of enough command and staff ve-
  hicles to support 3 to 4 batteries (each consisting of 4 to 8 systems).
  Aviation Component
  2-54. The aviation component is a task organization tailored for the conduct
  of aviation operations. The aviation component is task organized to provide a
  flexible and balanced air combat organization capable of providing air support to
  the OSC commander. It may be organized around an Air Force aviation
  regiment or an air army, or parts of these, as required by the mission. It may
  also include rotary-wing assets from army aviation. It includes ground attack
  aviation capability as well as requisite ground and air service support assets.
  The IFC commander exercises control through facilities provided by the airspace
  operations subsection of the OSC staff and/or the aviation unit(s).
  Missile Component
  2-55. The missile component is a task organization consisting of long-range
  missiles or rockets capable of delivering conventional or nuclear, biological,
  and chemical (NBC) munitions. It is organized around an SSM or rocket bat-
  talion or brigade and includes the appropriate logistics support assets. Mis-
  sile and rocket units may come from the Strategic Forces or from other parts
  of the administrative force structure (where they may be part of a corps,
  army, or army group).
  2-56. The State considers the long-range rocket and missile capability, even
  when delivering conventional munitions, the responsibility of the NCA. For
  example, the SHC or theater commander may allocate Strategic Forces as-
  sets to an IFC in order to use long-range missiles and rockets to advance
  State political ends during regional, transition, or adaptive operations. Un-
  able to mount robust air campaigns, the State can use these weapons to
  mount an equivalent effort.
