   Collects and processes information developed by the joint personnel recovery center or
  other PR centers.
   Advises the commander on steps to ready subordinate units for PR missions.
   Synchronizes and integrates all required assets for PR activities.
   Assists subordinate staffs and commanders in the development of their specific echelon’s
  PR system.
   Supports joint PR operations, if directed.
  * Company, troop, or below level—
   Develop guidance for isolated personnel or evasion plans of action for every member of the
  unit.
   Identify shortfalls in PR capabilities during troop leading procedures.
   Identify information requirements for potential PR operations.
   Evaluate each tactical situation and plan accordingly.
   Assess the unit’s ability to complete the PR tasks.
   Request the support required to address shortfalls in capability.
  SECTION XI – AERIAL-DELIVERED MINE OPERATIONS
  3-204. Aerial-delivered mines (Volcano) support offensive or defensive operations by emplacing
  minefields under varied conditions; reinforcing existing obstacles; closing lanes, gaps, and defilades;
  protecting flanks; and denying probable enemy air defense, artillery, or other projected sites. Aerial-
  delivered minefields may also be employed for flank protection of advancing forces and when conducting
  aviation and ground unit flank guard or screen missions.
  3-205. The ground commander integrates obstacles into the scheme of maneuver to shape the AO or
  develop the engagement area. The ground commander may rely on the AHB to employ air volcanoes in
  support of the ground scheme of maneuver, which may require the AHB to travel extended distances to
  emplace a minefield.
  3-206. When emplaced, the minefield seeks the following effects on the enemy:
  * Disrupt. With low lethality and density, the commander’s intent is to confuse enemy
  formations with near randomness or denial of high-speed roads, bridge approaches, or
  masking terrain.
  * Fix. These minefields are placed to permit synchronized ground force fires once encountered.
  * Turn. Density and lethality are sufficient to influence the maneuver of enemy formations in
  another direction.
  * Block. Density and lethality are sufficient to deny enemy use of terrain when emplaced with
  other natural and man-made obstacles.
  SECTION XII – COUNTER-AIR CONSIDERATIONS
  3-207. Counter-air is a theater mission that integrates offensive and defensive operations to attain and
  maintain a desired degree of control of the air and protection by neutralizing or destroying enemy aircraft
  and missiles, both before and after launch. The counter-air mission integrates offensive counter-air (OCA)
  and defensive counter-air (DCA) operations to attain and maintain the JFC’s desired degrees of control of
  air and protection by neutralizing or destroying enemy aircraft and missiles, before and after launch. These
  operations may include the use of Army manned or unmanned aircraft as well as precision fires, artillery,
  ground forces, special operations, space/cyberspace operations, EW, and other capabilities to create the
  desired lethal and/or nonlethal effects. For more information on counter-air operations, see JP 3-01.
  3-208. The goal of OCA operations is to prevent or disrupt the launch of enemy aircraft and missiles by
  engaging them and/or their overall supporting infrastructure prior to employment. OCA includes four
  operations:
