  Airspace Control—Execution and Assessment
  This chapter provides an overview of airspace control activities performed during
  execution. These activities are interrelated. Near-real-time execution requires constant
  monitoring, evaluating, and assessing the situation and then taking action or making
  recommendations.
  EXECUTION
  4-1. Execution is putting a plan into action by applying combat power to accomplish the mission (ADP 5-0).
  Execution uses situational understanding to assess progress and make execution and adjustment decisions.
  However, few plans are executed precisely as envisioned. Operations the commander envisioned in the plan
  may bear little resemblance to actual events in execution. Subordinate commanders need maximum latitude
  to take advantage of situations and meet the higher commander’s intent when the original order no longer
  applies. Leaders must be trained in independent decisionmaking, aggressiveness, and risk taking for effective
  execution.
  4-2. By exercising mission command, commanders empower their subordinate leaders to develop the
  situation, adapt, and act decisively to changes during execution. Army commanders have the authority to
  direct (control) the maneuver of all Army airspace users within their designated areas of operations (AOs),
  so they can make the best use of airspace. If assigned airspace control responsibility for a volume of airspace
  by the airspace control authority in the airspace control plan or airspace control order, Army commanders
  exercise airspace control over all airspace users. This authority to exercise airspace control for an assigned
  volume of airspace does not include the authority to approve, disapprove, or deny joint combat operations.
  Army commanders are the supported commander within their designated AO and as such, other commanders
  coordinate their airspace use with Army commanders to avoid adverse effects and fratricide.
  4-3. Army commanders and staffs utilize positive control methods, procedural control methods, or a
  combination of both methods. When a division is delegated control of airspace, the JAGIC will control
  division assigned airspace using procedural control. The Airmen in the JAGIC will normally provide
  procedural control for JFACC aircraft operating within division-assigned airspace. Control for division
  aircraft will be specified in the airspace control appendix (paragraph 3a of appendix 10 to Annex C
  Operations. see appendix F) Normally the JAGIC will rely on the BCTs to integrate division aviation
  operating below the coordination level in their AO while the JAGIC airspace Soldiers will integrate division
  aircraft operating above the coordination level and any division aircraft operating in parts of the division AO
  not further assigned as a brigade AO. For example, the JAGIC would be the airspace control agency for
  Shadow or Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft within division assigned airspace as well as for aircraft operating
  forward of the BCTs AO during a deep operation. Division positive control will be limited to areas controlled
  by Army or joint air traffic control elements. See paragraph 1-22 and 1-23 for further discussion.
  4-4. Army airspace elements coordinate airspace use with airspace control agencies provided by unified
  action partners (tasked by the airspace control authority to control airspace). These elements can include
  elements of the Air Force theater air control system (for example, CRC or AWACS), the Marine air command
  and control system (for example, DASC or tactical air operations center), the Navy tactical air control system,
  or similar multinational or civil air traffic control organizations. See ATP 3-52.2 for additional information.
  The Division JAGIC is normally the division element that coordinates with other unified action partner
  airspace elements. The JAGIC must establish a working relationship with the airspace element controlling
  airspace above division-assigned airspace in order to rapidly coordinate both high altitude fires and dynamic
  re tasking of division Gray Eagles operating above the coordinating altitude. The JAGIC must also
  coordinate with airspace elements controlling airspace beyond the FSCL or over adjacent units to enable
  responsive counterfires and interdiction fires. Normally, brigades will coordinate with unified action
