  AIRSPACE RESPONSIBILITIES BY ECHELON AND ROLE
  2-13. Airspace elements are organic to Army brigades and higher. Corps and division airspace elements are
  the same and are usually located in the forward command posts. Brigade Combat Teams, division artilleries,
  and field artillery brigades contain an airspace element referred to as an ADAM/BAE. Combat aviation
  brigades (CAB), and maneuver enhancement brigades contain an air defense airspace management ADAM.
  Sustainment brigades have no airspace control staff personnel. Sustainment brigades often occupy terrain in
  a maneuver brigade’s area of operation. Any airspace requirements the sustainment brigade has are integrated
  with the requirements of the unit to which airspace control has been delegated. These airspace elements
  integrate brigade airspace, including air and missile defense (AMD) and aviation functions. Each of these
  elements coordinates with higher, subordinate, and adjacent elements to maximize the effectiveness of
  airspace control.
  2-14. The airspace element also manages the airspace control working group. A working group is a grouping
  of predetermined staff representatives who meet to provide analysis, coordinate, and provide
  recommendations for a particular purpose or function (FM 6-0). For airspace control, the airspace control
  working group facilitates and synchronizes contributions from all the elements that perform the airspace
  collective tasks (see table E-2). The airspace control working group is led by the airspace control officer,
  warrant officer, or senior non-commissioned officer in the airspace element and typically consists of an air
  liaison officer (ALO) and representatives from: the airspace element, aviation element, AMD element, fires
  cell, tactical air control party, unmanned aircraft systems element, and other staff sections as required.
  Organizations without organic airspace elements accomplish airspace control through their airspace control
  working group.
  THEATER ARMY
  2-15. The theater army retains responsibility for contingency planning and coordination. This includes
  developing and maintaining operation and contingency plans while updating regionally focused intelligence
  estimates and supporting plans to a geographic combatant commander's theater campaign plan. In terms of
  airspace, the theater army primarily establishes airspace policy and standards and provides the Army’s
  airspace requirements developed into operation plans and contingency plans. The theater army contingency
  command post has airspace, aviation, and air and missile defense elements roughly equivalent to a brigade
  combat team’s (BCT’s) ADAM/BAE. The contingency command post has the airspace control capability to
  support small, short-duration contingencies. As a joint operations area and subsequent Army operating forces
  are established, airspace control responsibilities transition to the operational Army force headquarters. As
  such, the operational Army force then provides the Army’s input into the JFC’s ACP and order as well as
  special instructions.
  2-16. An operational Army force is the Army component headquarters for a joint task force (JTF) or a joint
  and multinational force. It consists of the senior Army headquarters and its commander (when not designated
  as the joint force commander) and all Army forces that the combatant commander subordinates to the JTF or
  places under the control of a multinational force commander. The senior Army headquarters identifies
  requirements and establishes priorities of support for Army forces within the operational area.
  FIRE SUPPORT
  2-17. The theater army fires cell plans, coordinates, integrates, and synchronizes the employment and
  assessment of all strategic theater fires to support current and future theater operations.
  Army Air and Missile Defense
  2-18. Army air and missile defense commands (AAMDCs) are placed under operational control (OPCON)
  to the joint force land component commander (JFLCC) or operational Army force and in direct support of
  the AADC for military operations. Other Army air defense artillery units in the area of responsibility are
  normally assigned, attached, or OPCON to the AAMDC. The JFC establishes AMD priorities, allocates
  forces, and apportions air power. The JFC typically assigns overall responsibility for counterair and airspace
  control to the JFACC and responsibility for defensive counterair operations to the AADC. The AADC
  oversees coordination with joint and multinational partners to develop procedures for a combined theater air
