Assault Support - Mission Categories

Mission Categories

  • Preplanned Missions – provide the most economical and efficient use of assets. These missions are requested far enough in advance to allow coordination between the requestor, the supporting unit and fire support/command and control agencies.
    • Scheduled Missions – missions requested in advance that permit detailed mission planning and close coordination with the appropriate MAGTF elements.
    • On Call Missions – assets are positioned close enough to provide a timely response when called needed.
  • Immediate Missions – those missions which suddenly arise and cannot be planned. They can be launched in support of any requesting unit. Immediate requests will be routed through the Direct Air Support Center and fulfilled based on the commander’s priorities.
