  Figure 5-2. AAMDC AMD control relationships
  5-9. The AAMDC C2 node links active defense, passive defense, and attack operations functions and
  provides timely assessment of the threat. It enables rapid dissemination of data fusion, tactical warning,
  mission assignment, cueing, targeting data, and post-strike assessment to the appropriate AMD element.
  AAMDCs are equipped with AMDPCS and a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) portable
  planner. The AMDPCS is capable of exercising C2 functionality for force and engagement operations. The
  portable planner enables the AAMDC to plan and evaluate THAAD defenses. The AAMDC focuses on force
  operations across the theater for deployed ADA forces. The AAMDC participates in engagement operations
  through its ADAFCO. As noted in chapter 4, the ADAFCO team is collocated with the designated
  engagement authority for air and missile threats.
  5-10. The AAMDC assists in coordinating upper and lower tier engagements across the theater and region.
  This involves coordination between the Navy’s Aegis, Patriot, and THAAD weapon systems, all of which
  may be employed in the homeland defense mission as well as in theaters. This responsibility is primarily
  executed through the ADAFCO who serves as the Army’s upper and lower tier coordination officer. The
  ADAFCO is deployed at the joint air operations center (JAOC) or other appropriate joint controlling
  headquarters, in conjunction with the naval ballistic missile defense liaison officer; the ADAFCO uses
  equipment provided by the joint controlling headquarters and organic voice communications.
  FORCE OPERATIONS
  5-11. The AAMDC projects its ADA forces to theater to support the JFC priorities based on METT-TC. This
  includes all aspects of mobilization and pre-deployment operations, deployment and entry operations,
  employment and sustainment, and redeployment, as well as the responsibility for training and certifying its
  task organized forces.
