  2-32. The air traffic services standardization element (ATSSE) is a unique organizational design of the
  TAOG. This element provides oversight, technical expertise, standardization to Army airfields at theater
  level and quality assurance for training and certification of controllers and ATS maintenance personnel. It
  develops airspace for restricted areas, transition areas and control zones. The ATSSE serves as the primary
  staff coordinator for ATS matters within the theater area. The element is capable of splitting into two teams
  for modularity and support of five AOBs employed across a wide geographical area throughout the theater.
  THEATER AVIATION SUSTAINMENT MAINTENANCE GROUP
  2-33. The TASMG is resourced to provide aviation sustainment maintenance and limited depot
  sustainment support at the theater level. The TASMG performs repairs and returns components/end-items
  to their supported units or the supply system through the National Maintenance Program. The TASMG is
  an ARNG organization.
  ORGANIZATION
  2-34. The TASMG consists of a headquarters and headquarters detachment, an aviation support company
  (ASC), and a group support company. Figure 2-7 provides TASMG organization.

  CAPABILITIES
  2-35. When deployed, the TASMG is attached to the joint force sustainment headquarters or expeditionary
  support command and sets up at a secure location within an AO. It establishes and provides 24-hour, fixed-
  base aviation field and sustainment maintenance, logistics, and other essential aviation sustainment support
  to aviation units. The TASMG performs field maintenance, depot-level crash and battle damage repair, and
  sustainment/depot-level repair of major end items. It also performs sustainment-level maintenance for
  aircraft and aviation ground support equipment at fixed-land or sea-based locations. The TASMG assists
  deploying aviation operational units with port operations. See ATP 3-04. 7 for more information.
  SECTION IV – AVIATION BATTALIONS AND SQUADRONS
  2-36. This section provides details of the organization and capabilities of the aviation battalions and
  squadrons.
  AIR CAVALRY SQUADRON
  2-37. As an element of the CAB, the ACS provides accurate and timely information collection, provides
  reaction time and maneuver space, and destroys, defeats, delays, diverts, or disrupts enemy forces in
  support of the combined arms team. Although the ACS is fully capable of conducting attacks, the
  integration of RQ-7B UAS at the troop level makes the ACS the best formation for conducting
  reconnaissance, security, and movement to contact as primary missions, with attack operations as a
  secondary mission. The ACS typically employs its aircraft in formations as small as Scout weapons teams
  (SWTs) of two aircraft to as large as troop or squadron formations. The ACS is an Active Duty
  organization.
