  2-26. When the TAB-A is augmented with attack or reconnaissance units, its capabilities are increased.
  Appropriate training time, staff, maintenance, and logistics support are critical in the development of these
  capabilities prior to conducting operations. When augmented, the TAB-A may perform the following
  additional tasks:
  * Movement to contact.
  * Attack.
  * Reconnaissance.
  * Security.
  SECTION III – ENABLING AVIATION GROUPS
  2-27. This section provides details of the organization and capabilities of enabling aviation groups. The
  two groups in Army Aviation are—
  * TAOG.
  * TASMG.
  THEATER AIRFIELD OPERATIONS GROUP
  2-28. The TAOG provides airfield and ATS support to the combined arms team. The TAOG, when
  deployed with AOBs, conducts airfield management operations, provides local airspace control for the AO
  in a joint environment, and provides oversight, sustainment, and maintenance support to the theater ATS
  assets. The TAOG is an Active Duty or ARNG organization.
  ORGANIZATION
  2-29. The TAOG consists of an HHC and up to three AOBs. Figure 2-6 provides the organizational
  structure of a TAOG.
  Figure 2–6. Theater airfield operations group
  2-30. The TAOG and its subordinate ATS organizations are an enabling component of the modular,
  scalable, and tailored Army Aviation force and can support forcible and early entry contingency missions,
  as well as sustained theater aviation operations. Air traffic operations are conducted overseas within
  contiguous and noncontiguous areas, throughout the range of military operations. The ATS organizations
  support DSCA missions in response to natural or man-made disasters, accidents, and incidents within the
  United States and its territories.
  CAPABILITIES
  2-31. The TAOG, the AOB, and the sub-element ATS units are optimized for theater aviation support and
  deploy in total or are task-organized by teams based on operational requirements. The TAOG is organized
  and equipped to facilitate early deployment by establishing expeditionary airfields in support of Army,
  joint, and multinational operations. The TAOG supports reception, staging, onward-movement, and
  integration requirements for aviation assets arriving in the operations area, to include operation of heliports
  and helipads at seaports and aerial ports of debarkation.
