The United States employs military power in a joint manner, with each component making a unique contribution to the joint force commander's the- ater campaign plan. Successful theater operations require synchronized con- tributions by all forces: ground, naval, air, space, and special operations. Air operations provide the JFC the opportunity to attack the enemy in depth, to control the skies over the theater of operations, and to assist component com- manders with tangible, responsive air support. The TAGS is not a formal sys- tem in itself but the actual sum of various component air-ground systems. For the purpose of this manual, the TAGS refers to organizations, personnel, equip- ment, and procedures that participate in the planning and execution of these air operations.
