  Assistant Brigade Engineer
  4-210. TheABEis the senior engineer on staff responsible for coordinating engineer support to combined
  arms operations. The ABEintegrates specified and implied engineer tasks into the maneuver force plan. The
  ABE ensures that mission planning, preparation, execution, and assessment activities integrate supporting
  engineer units. The ABE oversees any contract construction activity planning,preparation,and execution in
  support of the S-4 contracting support plan. TheABEprepares Annex G (Engineer) to the operation order.
  (SeeFM 3-34 for additional information.)
  4-211. The ABE,with the BCT S-2,oversees a geospatial engineering team (located in the S-2 section) that
  performs the analysis, management, and dissemination of geospatial data and products in support of BCT
  planning,preparation,execution,and assessment. This team maintains the BCT COP on the BCT server and
  provides updates to the brigade portion of the theater geospatial database. The team primarily supports the
  S-2 and S-3 sections,and as directed other staff sections and subordinate units of the BCT. The team works
  to fuse intelligence and geospatial information into a COP for the commander. This BCT level team is too
  small to provide continuous support, but it forms improvised geospatial intelligence cells as necessary to
  support operations. The geospatial engineering team requires access to the classified tactical local area
  network and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network to update and disseminate geospatial information and
  products. The ABE also supports with integrating geospatial products into the planning process by
  coordinating with the geospatial team. (SeeATP 3-34.80 for additional information.)
  Note. The brigade engineer battalion (BEB) commander is the senior engineer in the BCT and
  advises the BCT commander on how best toemploy combat,general,and geospatial engineering
  capabilities to conduct combined arms integration in support of decisive action. (SeeATP3-34.22
  for additional information.)
  Air Liaison Officer
  4-212. The air liaison officer is the senior United StatesAir Force officer with each tactical air control party
  (TACP). The air liaison officer plans close air support, in direct support of the BCT commander, in
  accordance with the joint force air component commander’s guidance and intent. The air liaison officer is
  responsible for coordinating aerospace assets and operations such as close air support, air interdiction, air
  reconnaissance,airlift,and joint suppression of enemy air defenses. At battalion or squadron level,the senior
  member of the TACP is called a battalion air liaison officer—a specially trained and experienced
  noncommissioned officer or officer. (SeeJP 3-09.3,FM 3-52,and ATP 3-52.1for additional information.)
  Air and Missile Defense Coordination Officer
  4-213. The air and missile defense coordination officer leads the air defense airspace management (ADAM)
  cell,responsible for planning,coordinating,integrating,and controlling air defense and airspace management
  for the BCT. This includes providing the capability to integrate command and control systems to provide the
  brigade aviation element (BAE) with the COP, developing air defense plans, air defense artillery task
  organization, scheme of air defense operations, surveillance, and reconnaissance planning. In addition, the
  air and missile defense coordination officer integrates and coordinates tasks between the BCT and any
  augmented air and missile defense assets and units not directly task organized to BCT subordinate units. The
  coordination officer within the ADAM element prepares a portion of Annex D (Fires) to the operation order.
  (SeeATP 3-01.50,FM 3-52,andATP 3-52.1for additional information.)
  Brigade Aviation Officer
  4-214. The brigade aviation officer leads the BAE and assists the BCT S-3 with the planning and
  synchronization of Army aviation and other airspace usersto support the BCT commander’s ground scheme
  of maneuver. The brigade aviation officer standardizes unmanned aircraft systems (UASs)employment for
  the BCT, advises and plans the use of reconnaissance, surveillance, attack, air assault, air movement,
  sustainment, and medical evacuation. As the BCT’s aviation subject matter expert, the brigade aviation
  officer is responsible for advising the BCT commander and staff on the status and availability of aviation
