1-1. Purpose and Scope a. This manual presents broad guidance for Army and Air Force organizations involved in unit movements of Army Forces on Air Force aircraft. It outlines the organization, functions, and responsibilities of Army Departure Airfield Control Groups/Arrival Airfield Control Groups (DACG/AACG) and their interface with Air Force Airlift Control Elements (ALCE) and Air Force Aerial Port Units. The Air Force has overall responsibility for operation of Air Force terminals; therefore, Joint Services Regulation AFR 76-7 (AR 59-106) takes precedence over this manual in connection with the handling and moving of traffic on Air Force organic or con- tracted aircraft or through air terminals of the Air Force. b. This manual is applicable without modifica- tion to nuclear or nonnuclear warfare. 1-2. Changes and Revisions Users of this manual are encouraged to submit
