Chapter 1 RESPONSIBILITIES The policies outlined in this manual pertain primarily to airlanded opera- tions; however, since preparations for airborne operations are basically similar, all marshaling and outloading procedures will be conducted essential- ly in the same manner. Conduct of a unit air movement requires careful plan- ning of loads, selection of equipment, and processing of personnel. It requires marshaling of transported units, airfield reception, outloading procedures, and the reception and disposition of forces at the offload airfield. These tasks are the responsibility of the transported unit, its parent organization or installa- tion/base, the departure/arrival airfield control group (D/AACG), and the Air Force airlift control element (ALCE)/mission support team (MST).
