  examines sustainment needs to position land-based air and missile defenses in sufficient time and quantities
  to meet the JFC’s needs in seizing and maintaining the initiative to defeat the enemy.
  5-32. The AAMDC must provide a sustainable force that enables supported commanders to optimize their
  operations while minimizing adverse impacts from possible air and missile attack. The AAMDC’s organic
  primary and special staffs provide specialized operational, administrative, and logistical support for its task-
  organized ADA forces. This includes all types of support unique to the theater, from force protection to
  supply chain management, communications and network operations, and diplomatic and host nation
  coordination.
  5-33. The AAMDC analyzes the operational environment to account for ground and air threats that may
  impact friendly infrastructure and the availability of resources, ensuring that adequate support is planned and
  available for sustainment, resupply, and reconstitution activities throughout all phases of an operation.
  5-34. Sustainment activities focus on how, when, and where to accomplish the functions of manning, arming,
  fueling, fixing, and moving. Ensuring the adequacy of personnel services, health services, field services,
  quality of life, and general supply support is also a priority of sustainment activities.
  5-35. The AAMDC commander may establish priority supporting efforts by phase of the operation or change
  priorities during operations to ensure that operational and force sustainment is provided in accordance with
  their relative importance to accomplishing the mission. Changes by phase to the defended asset list, or
  reprioritization of critical assets on the list, will normally affect support priorities and require continual
  assessment by the staff.
  5-36. Reconstitution activities, including regeneration and reorganization, are conducted to restore the
  AAMDC and/or its supporting forces to a desired level of combat effectiveness commensurate with mission
  requirements and available resources. They are implemented when combat effectiveness has been degraded
  as a result of enemy activity, battlefield damage, or other environmental factors and hazards. Regeneration
  involves rebuilding the unit through large-scale replacement of personnel, equipment, and supplies, including
  the reestablishment or replacement of essential C2 personnel and equipment and the conduct of mission-
  essential training. Reorganization involves the shifting of internal resources within the unit to increase its
  level of combat effectiveness.
