About

The Marine air command and control system (MACCS) provides the Marine aviation combat element commander with the means to exercise control of those organic and nonorganic aviation assets necessary to support Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) operations. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-25, Control of Aircraft and Missiles, addresses basic planning considerations for MACCS operations, employment, and interoperability among MACCS and joint Service agencies. MCWP 3-25.5, Direct Air Support Center Handbook, complements and expands on the information in the MCWP 3-25 by focusing on the details of direct air support center (DASC) operations and the role that the DASC plays in integrated MAGTF operations.
