Questions and answers

How long are initial ATC forces normally available?

Initial ATC forces are small, uniquely specialized teams that may be required for follow-on operations. Consequently, these initial ATC forces are normally available for short duration and require follow-on sustainment. (paragraph 4)

What is considered a short duration for initial ATC forces?

For planning purposes, short duration is less than 14 days. (paragraph 4)

When may augmentation be required for initial ATC forces?

If not replaced, augmentation may be required within 30 days to support higher tempo operations. (paragraph 4)

What services are normally required during the sustained operations phase?

A full range of terminal services, including mobile control tower, ASR, precision landing capabilities, NAVAIDs, and transmission medium equipment, are normally required for the sustained operations phase. (paragraph 2)

What governs ATC certification during a transition force?

FAA regulations govern ATC certification and each Service is responsible to administer its certification and rating program in accordance with applicable FAA orders. (paragraph 6)
