  * The air tasking order (ATO) accurately reflects scheduled Army aircraft and fire missions and
  ensures Army aircraft have valid identification friend or foe (IFF) or selective identification
  feature codes on the ATO.
  * Ensure the airspace coordinating order identifies airspace requirements for the conduct of
  operations.
  * Disseminate changes to theater-wide air defense warnings, weapons control status, rules of
  engagement, and aircraft identification standards among the JAOC, Army force headquarters, and
  senior land-based air and missile defense headquarters.
  * Assist with informing other agencies changes to fire support coordination measures that impact
  joint operations such as the fire support coordination line.
  * Coordinate the development of the airspace control plan on behalf of the ARFOR as directed.
  * Maintains capability to digitally exchange information between the ARFOR and the JAOC.
  2-23. The air defense artillery fire control officer provides a single point of contact between Army AMD fire
  direction centers and the regional or sector air defense commander who typically locates with the control and
  reporting center (CRC). However, based on theater requirements, these officers co-locate at the tactical air
  operations center, Air Electronic Guidance Information System, or Airborne Warning and Control System
  (AWACS). These officers advise and assist the controlling authority with integrating Army AMD capabilities
  into that part of the integrated air defense system. They identify and deconflict air tracks; provide early
  warning and cueing information to air and missile defense units, target weapons paring, and rapid engagement
  of targets; assist in airspace deconfliction between AMD fire and aircraft; and send engagement orders to
  AMD units.
  CORPS AND DIVISION LEVELS
  2-24. The corps headquarters oversees airspace control policy and standardization of tactics, techniques, and
  procedures throughout the corps AO. The senior Army airspace element (either corps or division depending
  on the force structure deployed) coordinates with the BCD’s airspace section to ensure the joint airspace
  policies and documents incorporate the Army airspace priorities and requirements.
  2-25. The corps and division airspace elements are designed to execute airspace responsibilities when a
  headquarters serves as an intermediate tactical headquarters, an operational Army force, a joint force land
  component headquarters or a JTF headquarters. Airspace element personnel integrate airspace operations
  with the functional cells and with the integrating cells. The airspace element also coordinates with the tactical
  air control party (TACP) and the air support operations center (ASOC) co-located with the headquarters.
  2-26. As the airspace functional lead for the corps and division staff, the airspace element develops standard
  operating procedures and airspace control annexes that help standardize airspace control operations among
  subordinate units. These procedures and annexes ensure consistency with joint airspace procedures, the
  theater ACP, aeronautical information publications, and associated plans and orders. To support the corps
  and division mission, airspace elements in the main command post—
  * Provide airspace control expertise for the commander.
  * Monitor joint airspace operations.
  * Plan and update input to the joint ACP.
  * Integrate the airspace control architecture into the joint airspace control architecture.
  * Develop the airspace control architecture to support plans.
  * Draft all airspace control input for operation orders, operation plans, appendices, and estimates.
  * Plan and request ACMs.
  * Deconflict airspace through the appropriate authority.
  * Coordinate with the movement and maneuver (for aviation), intelligence (for information
  collection), and fires and protection (for air and missile defense) cells.
  * Provide ATS expertise to the headquarters.
  2-27. The corps can function as a tactical headquarters subordinate to a joint force land component or JTF.
  In this case, the airspace element provides airspace requirements to the higher headquarters’ airspace section
