The Need for a Common Aviation Command and Control System in the Marine Air Command and Control System

Abstract

The Marine Air Command and Control System (MACCS) is absolutely critical to the success of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF). The MACCS acts as a force multiplier, increasing the speed, fluidity and efficiency of the Marine Corps Air Combat Element (ACE). It also integrates the ACE with the Ground Combat Element (GCE) and Logistics Combat Element (LCE) and ensures that ACE meets the ACE commander's intent and ultimately the MAGTF commander's intent. The integration of the GCE, ACE and LCE into one cohesive force is what makes the MAGTF powerful and effective.
