  commander priorities, and a force allocation decision is made. The ADA personnel assist the BCT
  commander and staff in planning for support by ADA forces or general coverage by AMD sensors and missile
  systems, when support is allocated. They also recommend how to integrate designated AMD capabilities into
  the maneuver plan.
  10-21. Current ADAM cells achieve visibility of and input to AMD planning through their embedded
  AMDWS capability. ADAM cells leverage ADA capabilities through AMDWS functionality, allowing their
  commanders to shape the defended asset plans. Data is transported across LandWarNet.
  10-22. ADAM cells plan and coordinate the emplacement of low-level sensors (for example, Sentinel
  radars), as applicable, to support AMD operations. They may coordinate with the target acquisition platoon,
  within the brigade’s organic field artillery battalion, for Sentinel placement. Adjustments in position locations
  and trade-offs in allocation of resources may be required as the field artillery battalion may desire Sentinels
  for support of RAM Warn and counterfires, while the ADAM cell may need Sentinels to support the counter-
  UAS fight.
  10-23. ADAM cell personnel monitor and advise the fires cells of the operational status of the ADA
  shooters and their available munitions. They assist in the coordination of adjustments to launcher position
  when shooters are out of action and advise when missile and ammunition resupplies are required.
  10-24. ADAM cell personnel coordinate force protection requirements for ADA forces supporting the
  brigade or operating within its area. ADA echelons do not have organic personnel that can provide adequate
  protection against ground threats. Some force protection requirements may be met by locating the ADA force
  with other brigade assets at a base; however, this is only suitable if the ADA force can execute its mission
  from that base. When positioned at a separate location and METT-TC dependent, the ADA force may need
  an attachment of Soldiers from the brigade for protection.
  10-25. ADAM cell personnel also assist in AMD planning in maneuver battalions and companies. They
  advise battalion and company commanders of the supporting ADA assets or units, their capabilities and
  limitations, and their employment considerations. In addition, they plan for and monitor active and passive
  AMD measures to be executed by BCT elements. They coordinate force protection of supporting ADA
  elements with supported battalion and company commanders.
  AIRSPACE COORDINATION AND MANAGEMENT
  10-26. The ADAM cell is part of an airspace coordination team, consisting of ADA, field artillery, aviation,
  and other service representatives at corps, division, and brigade levels that facilitate airspace deconfliction
  and clearance of fires. The ADAM cell responsibilities for airspace management vary dependent upon
  echelon. The corps ADAM cell, for instance, is more involved with planning airspace usage and coordinating
  that usage with joint air planners. The BCT ADAM cell is focused on the execution of airspace usage, such
  as deconfliction and clearance of fires.
  Note. At the division level, the ADAM cell’s ADA officer is a participant in the joint air ground
  integration center. The joint air ground integration center is designed to fully support and enable
  division-level current operations through the rapid execution and clearance of fires and airspace.
  It is a modular and scalable center designed to integrate and synchronize fires and airspace control
  in the division’s area of operations. See ATP 3-91.1 for additional details.
  10-27. Planning considers the identification of potential airspace users and the airspace needs of these users.
  The ADAM cell personnel determine the most appropriate airspace control measures that provide the least
  restrictions to airspace users while maximizing their use and combat effectiveness. The ADAM cell may
  establish restricted operations zones within the brigade’s airspace to support management and deconfliction
  of airspace users. A restricted operations zone is an airspace reserved for specific activities in which
  operations of one or more airspace users is restricted (JP 3-52). ADAM cell personnel also monitor the
  restricted zones that are created by other airspace management and control authorities.
  10-28. The ADAM cell manages the airspace over the BCT’s area of operations. The brigade aviation
  officer coordinates the actions of the ADAM cell and ensures that airspace management activities are
