text: Preface
  FM 3-52, Airspace Control, provides commanders, staff officers, and airspace element personnel with tactics
  essential for the exercise of airspace control. Using the backdrop of the Army air-ground system (AAGS), the
  Army component of the theater air-ground system (TAGS), and the operations process, the manual addresses
  roles and responsibilities, by echelon, between Army and air support agencies of other Services in the planning,
  preparation, execution, and assessment of airspace use.
  The principal audience for FM 3-52 includes commanders, leaders, and staffs across all Army echelons with
  responsibilities for airspace control, airspace element personnel, controllers, and airspace users from tactical to
  operational levels. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this manual.
  Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure their decisions and actions comply with applicable U.S.,
  international, and, in some cases, host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers
  operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement. See FM 27-10.
  FM 3-52 implements the standardization agreement entitled AJP 3.3.5.
  FM 3-52 uses joint terms where applicable. Selected joint and Army terms and definitions appear in both the
  glossary and text. Definitions shown in the text have the term italicized and the number of the proponent
  publication following the definition.
  This manual uses the terms command and control and command and control system as defined in JP 1 and JP 6-0
  respectively when referring to joint or other Service processes. This manual uses the term mission command when
  referring to U.S. Army processes.
