  ADAM Cell
  This chapter describes the roles, responsibilities, and functions of the air defense
  airspace management (ADAM) cell in the corps, division, and brigade. ADAM cells
  in the corps and division, per the tables of organization and equipment, are titled AMD
  sections; however, they perform many of the functions of the brigade-level ADAM
  cell. Therefore, for purposes of simplicity, they are referred to as ADAM cells
  throughout this chapter. While the following addresses tactics and procedures of the
  ADAM cell in the corps, division, and brigade, emphasis is placed on ADAM cells in
  brigade combat team (BCT).
  ROLES AND CAPABILITIES
  10-1. ADAM cells plan, coordinate, and distribute tactical information necessary to execute AMD operations
  and to support airspace management at all required Army echelons. They also provide a near-real-time,
  common operational air picture to facilitate situational awareness. ADAM cells at corps, division, and brigade
  levels primarily perform planning and liaison functions for force operations, though they also provide some
  engagement operations support. ADAM cells also ensure that AMD and aviation plans are considered in
  corps, division, and brigade planning and preparations for operations.
  10-2. The ADAM/brigade aviation element cell at brigade level, under the direction of the S-3, is the
  executive agent for integrating the use of airspace for the brigade commander. The cell resolves immediate
  airspace conflicts affecting targeting missions and contributes to the air-ground integration process.
  10-3. The ADAM cell in the BCT is linked to and coordinates operations with the division ADAM cell,
  ADAFCO positioned at a regional or sector air defense center, and any supporting ADA units. Through
  constant coordination, the ADAM cell facilitates the BCT’s awareness of the air environment and current
  and projected AMD operations within and around the BCT’s area of operations.
  10-4. Major functions and capabilities of the ADAM cell include:
  * Coordinate the airspace with aviation, field artillery, and other prime airspace user representatives.
  * Advise the commander and staff of air and missile threats and supporting or in-vicinity ADA force
  capabilities, locations, and activities.
  * Plan and coordinate AMD operations with supporting ADA units.
  * Receive, stage, and integrate supporting ADA forces/positions into the brigade’s area of
  operations.
  * Coordinate early warning of air activity and complementary defense coverage with other Army,
  joint, and multinational AMD units.
  * Clear the airspace, with airspace authorities and other users, for AMD engagements.
  * Relay early warning of enemy air and missile attacks to maneuver and supporting forces.
  * Broadcast air defense warnings, ROE, and other pertinent AMD information to maneuver
  elements to support their AMD actions.
  * Write the AMD appendix in accordance with the commander’s guidance.
  * Continuously assess requirements for AMD augmentation.
