TAGS: Multiservice Procedures for the Theater Air-Ground System

Abstract

This publication provides a generic concept and procedures for Theater Air-Ground System (TAGS) operations. It is a primer for all planners to facilitate the integration of air operations and ground combat operations. It offers readers a basic understanding of joint and component air-ground systems and operations. an overview of the joint air tasking order (ATO) cycle, and the command and decision-making process at component and joint force levels. Since an unclassified, generic TAGS is described, practitioners in mature theaters should refer to theater manuals and standard operations instructions for theater-specific procedures. This publication has worldwide application and can serve as a model for any level of conflict. It is intended to supplement Joint Publication 3.56-1, Command and Control for Joint Air Operations, by providing detailed information regarding component contributions to the TAGS.
