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 four chapters and their associated seven appendices constitute the doctrinal framework for the Army’s use of airspace within the joint force commander’s theater air-ground system. This framework leverages all the qualities of detailed airspace planning. It also focuses on the dynamic integration of all airspace users during execution. The framework ensures users follow the joint force commander’s and the combined arms commander’s (battalion through theater army) intent, priorities, and risk guidance. Lastly, the framework describes how Army capabilities—resident down to brigade level—expand airspace control options for the airspace control authority and for the joint force commander.
