Marine TacAir and the 1986 Omnibus Agreement

Abstract

The question of who should control Marine aviation assets during sustained joint operations ashore has surfaced time and time again. The Joint Chiefs of Staff approved the 1986 Omnibus Agreement for command and control of USMC TacAir in sustained operations ashore. Leadership from both the Marine Corps and the Air Force voiced support for the agreement. Four years have passed since the Omnibus Agreement was published. This study, intended as a guide for the Joint Flag Officer Warfighting Course, includes synopses of selected journal articles, reviews the present status of the agreement, states the current position of the two services and their doctrinal differences, and addresses the question of success of the 1986 Omnibus Agreement.
