Department of Defense Directive 5100.01 charges the Army to "conduct air and missile defense to support joint campaigns and assist in achieving air superiority." FM 3-01 describes the contributions of ADA, the Army's dedicated AMD component, in the planning, coordination, and execution of AMD operations in support of joint and multidomain operations. Multinational AMD operations are also addressed, though most discussions continue to refer to joint and Army AMD. Air and missile defense is the direct (active and passive) defensive actions to destroy, nullify, or reduce the effectiveness of hostile air and ballistic missile threats against friendly forces and assets (JP 3-01). It includes actions that may be taken on the land, in the air, at sea, and in cyberspace and space.
