  Figure 9-1. Platoon AMD control relationships
  9-21. Engagement and identification authority, except for rotary-wing aircraft, smaller class UAS, and RAM
  threats, is normally maintained by the AADC’s designated commander (for example, the RADC or SADC).
  Avenger team leaders serve as engagement and identification authorities for rotary-wing aircraft and the
  smaller class of UASs. The ground commander is generally given the responsibility to execute C-RAM
  operations (JP 3-01). Authority for RAM engagements is decentralized to and exercised by the commander
  of an installation or base on which C-RAM assets are employed. The C-RAM platoon leader conducts the
  tactical engagements for the installation/base commander in compliance with the ROE and other AMD
  control measures forwarded by an ADAFCO, ADAM cell, or another ADA unit.
  9-22. In a low intensity air threat environment that may exist prior to or after ground combat operations,
  engagement/identification authority for fixed-wing aircraft is generally centralized at the RADC/SADC level.
  Engagement orders are transmitted by the ADAFCO to ADA task force level, or, in some cases, to battery
  level.
  9-23. When there are projections of high intensity air and missile threats with significant simultaneous and
  coordinated ballistic missile attacks (the expected norm in large-scale combat operations), the AADC may
  decentralize engagement/identification authority for all air threats. Authority may initially be delegated to an
  ADA task force, or, if no task force is present in the vicinity and some centralized control above weapon
  level is required, to an ADA pure/task-organized battery. Once attacks are imminent, authority will likely be
  decentralized directly to the Avenger team leaders. All Avenger leaders must be cognizant of and prepared
  to assume requisite authority when so delegated.
  9-24. Equipment status reports are provided by the platoon to the ADA task force or task-organized battery,
  when operating in these formations, or to an ADAM cell when directly supporting a BCT or its subordinate
