Appendix C C-4 JP 3-60 (1) Stage 1, objectives, effects, and guidance, requires JFC and component commanders to collaborate about the use of joint air assets to establish guidance for the duration of that air battle plan. The JFACC provides the strategy division of the JAOC with broad guidance based on the JFC’s priorities and intent, coordination with other component commanders, and the JFACC’s own objectives. This is normally transmitted in an air operations directive (AOD) and guides the planning for the duration of that joint air tasking cycle. The AOD includes prioritized tactical tasks that support objectives and must be distributed to other components since it affects prioritizing targets. Components should influence the writing of the AOD and with selecting and prioritizing the tactical tasks. It is Figure C-2.
