The Marine air command and control system (MACCS) provides the Marine aviation combat element commander with the means to exercise command and control of organic and nonorganic aviation assets necessary to support Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) operations. Fleet Marine Force Manual (FMFM) 5-60, Control of Aircraft and Missiles, addresses basic planning considerations for MACCS operations, employment, and interoperability among MACCS and joint Service agencies. Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-25.3, Marine Air Command and Control System Handbook, complements and expands on the information in FMFM 5-60 by focusing on the employment of the MACCS as a whole. This publication emphasizes system interoperability, air command and control agency interface, and overarching planning considerations.
