This study provides the reader with a historical overview of the command and control of United States air assets during joint operations. It traces the evolution of the role of the Joint Force Air Component Commander to include mission, function, roles, and structure that are essential to the Joint Force Commander for planning, coordinating, and controlling his combat air power. It provides view of the issues arising from interservice command and control procedures. These issues are derived from joint air operations that include Army ground based air-defense systems, United States Air Forces aircraft, United States Marine Corps Aviation Task Force, and Naval Carrier Task Force aircraft. The study draws on current join publications on command and control of the Joint Force Commander's air assets. Each service's doctrine on the planning, coordination, allocation, and tasking of air assets in a theater of operations is reviewed. Other documents, letters, memos, and papers that relate to the study further classify the interservice issues of disagreement. Army Air Defense Commanders should be aware of the issues because they fight in a joint force and may be under the command and control of either a USAF, Naval, or Marine Corps Air Component Commander.
