100 personnel form the core of the targeting effort. Some AIS’ are organizationally subordinate to the MAJCOM or NAF AOGs. Other AIS’ are subordinate to a NAF Air Intelligence Group. Regardless, these are peacetime organizations. During contingencies, AIS’ “become” the ISRD of their corresponding CAOCs. Deployable Common Ground System (DCGS). The AF has developed specific units to provide enhanced intelligence and targeting support for worldwide operations— above what the theater AIS can provide. DCGS is the system and the individual units are called Deployable Ground Systems (DGS). While these units do not provide support directly to targeteers, they do provide SIGINT and imagery support to theater CAOCs that ultimately supports targeting and assessment. CAOCs should coordinate DGS support through the theater A-2. There are currently five operational DGS’. While they each have a primary theater, the DCGS operates as a single entity and specific DGS’ can be called upon to flex from their primary theater to support a more critical area, as warfighter needs dictate. Targeteers must keep this in mind when coordinating DGS reachback support to the CAOC. While not officially part of a theater CAOC, these units can provide invaluable IMINT and SIGINT support to CAOC IPB, targeting, collection management, and assessment efforts. Joint and National Organizations Joint Units Theater Joint Intelligence Operations Center or Joint Analysis Center (JAC). The theater JIOC (or JAC in US European Command) is the central point for theater intelligence tasking, collection, analysis, and production. JIOCs also have targeting offices that produce target folders based on deliberate planning taskings. In addition, JIOCs, in coordination with theater J-2s, maintain the JTL, NSL, and RTL for specific OPLANs or CONPLANs. JIOCs have liaisons from the major national intelligence agencies to facilitate effective national intelligence support to the theaters. These liaisons typically include personnel from DIA, NGA, the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) (the roles of these organizations are explained later in this appendix). Theater Cruise Missile Support Agency (CMSA). CMSA-Pacific (Camp Smith, Hawaii) and CMSA-Atlantic (Norfolk, Virginia) can provide valuable targeting information for cruise missile employment (airborne and seaborne). Global Cryptologic Center (GCC). A GCC is an NSA site to ensure NSA-derived intelligence supports theater planning, force employment, and assessment. CAOC planners can coordinate with the GCC or go through the theater NSA representative at the JIOC (the cryptologic support group); but a theater can’t directly task an GCC—it must go through NSA. However, air and space planners can consult with their theater’s
