1. Leap ASOC Concept Lt Col Dane “Joust” Crawford Director of Operations 15 Apr 2013

2. PURPOSE AND AGENDA Purpose: Defines Leap ASOC Concept providingcontinuous ASOC C2 during Corps or Division Command Post movement. AGENDA • Leap Concept • Minimum Communication Requirements • ASOC Manning • Leap ASOC Options (5 Person / 3 Person) • Airlift Consideration • Future Capabilities (DCP/TDC-Lite/TACP-CASS w/MRT)

3. LEAP CONCEPT Definition: The Leap package is a resource used to permit continuous operations during mobile combat situations by providing an interim ASOC capability. • Original main ASOC will continue to function while the leap ASOC is being set up. Leap ASOC moves with the Corps/Div TAC, while ASOC main remains with Corps/Div Main. Executing simultaneously. • Allows rapid main ASOC resumption of operations following a displacement or loss of the Army main CP. • Portions of the original main ASOC may join the leap ASOC to reconstitute a new main or move in to establish a new main CP. • Orchestration of an ASOC leap will vary with the tactical situation, Army movement tactics, and equipment limitations. • Bottom Line: Each ASOC must adapt its capability and resources to meet the requirements of its associated Army CP.

5. LEAP CONCEPT Concept: Simultaneous split C2. Leap ASOC executes LOS functions while ASOC Main holds decision authority and B-LOS functions SAD JARNO LEAP FDO SAT PC1* ATOM/ ASM ICT IDO/T PC2** *JARNO Qualified PC ** ICT Qualified PC • Leap ASOC: FDO and dual qual’d PCs allow organic ASOC capes to back-up ASOC Main • ASOC Main: Remainder of 9-Person crew. Responsible for all non-PC functions.

6. MINIMUM COMM REQUIREMENTS Required communications capabilities of the Leap ASOC in order to fulfill its function as a stand alone ASOC with reach back ability. • LEAP ASOC Responsibilities: • LOS capabilities PRIMARY for PC (UHF, VHF, DaCAS) • B-LOS capabilities for reachback and back-up for ASOC main • SATCOM/HF/MIRC • SIPRNET/NIPRNET/VOICE through Army Channels • MAIN ASOC Responsibilities: • B-LOS capabilities PRIMARY for JARN/TACP-CASS • SATCOM/HF/MIRC • Backup LOS capabilities for PC (UHF, VHF, DaCAS) • SIPRNET/NIPRNET/VOICE through AF Channels • Communication capabilities are the same; however, division of labor, systems, and channels are different

7. ASOC MANNING9-Person Crew x 3 / Support • These numbers reflect the current manning requirements to support 24 hr operations.

8. 10 PERSON LEAP ASOC(2 x 3 Man Ops Crew) • Considerations • MATVs: More Vehicles / Gateway unarmored • Tents: Ops/Support/Sleep; need Gen/HVAC

9. LEAP ASOC vs MAIN ASOC MANNING * JARNO Qualified PC ** ICT Qualified PC • 1 FDO / 2 FDTs available at Main (not tasked) • ASOC Main is short power pro

10. AIRLIFT CONSIDERATION(LEAP ASOC vs FULL ASOC UTC) 1 x C-17 OR 2 x C-130s 4 x C-17s
