  * Synchronizes the phasing of air and space operations with the JFC’s operation or campaign plan.
  The first phase normally involves counterair operations to attain and maintain the required degree
  of air superiority to accomplish other joint actions.
  * Specifies capabilities and forces required to accomplish operational and tactical objectives.
  * Used to coordinate joint air operations with all other relevant lines of operations and lines of effort.
  * The JAOP should be developed concurrently with the airspace control plan and the area air defense
  plan to facilitate the maximum combat effectiveness while minimizing risk.
  Airspace Control Plan
  3-5. An ACP details the broad policies and procedures for airspace control within the JFC’s operational
  area. The ACA, working with other components, develops this plan. Effective ACPs include transitions
  between phases or are updated as phase transitions occur. When the JFC signs the ACP, this plan becomes
  the JFC’s airspace policies and procedures. This plan—
  * Describes the operational area within which airspace applies.
  * Lists current existing capabilities within the operational area to provide airspace control.
  * Describes and lists duties of the ACA, each airspace user (including requirements for liaisons to
  and coordination with the ACA), and elements used in airspace control system.
  * Describes the interface among the ACA, the AADC, and fires elements with procedures for
  deconflicting air defense and operational requirements.
  * Describes interface with the Federal Aviation Administration, host-nation air traffic control
  system, and International Civil Aviation Organization.
  * Describes the interface between U.S. and multinational forces to coordinate and deconflict
  airspace requirements.
  * Provides for continuity of airspace control operations under degraded conditions.
  * Describes the airspace control procedures for the joint force including requesting, approving,
  modifying, and promulgating procedures.
  * Describes identification friend or foe selective identification feature procedures.
  Area Air Defense Plan
  3-6. With the support of the component commanders, the AADC develops, integrates, and distributes a
  JFC-approved joint area air defense plan (AADP). This plan protects assets on the defended asset list, other
  critical assets, friendly forces, and civilian population centers according to JFC guidance. It details defensive
  counterair priorities, authorities, procedures, tasks, and actions throughout the joint operations area. This plan
  includes:
  * A layered and overlapping defense to allow for multiple engagement opportunities.
  * Information engagement strategies for counterair.
  * Detailed weapons control and engagement procedures and authorities integral to a joint counterair
  operation.
  * Specific airspace coordinating measures (ACMs) required to accomplish the mission.
  * All surface-to-air capabilities assigned, attached, and supporting.
  * Provisions for protecting high-value airborne assets.
  * Guidance on electronic warfare to disrupt or destroy guidance systems.
  3-7. Planners carefully integrate air defense in the AADP with the appropriate sections in the ACP. A viable
  ACP requires locations of specific types of air defense operations and exact procedures for the identification
  of aircraft. The AADC writes the AADP with detailed engagement procedures consistent with the ACP and
  operations in the joint operations area. Planners of the AADP understand the capabilities and limitations of
  fielded equipment used by the joint or multinational forces. When writing, planners anticipate using airspace
  control and area air defense operations in a degraded command network environment.
