152nd Air Operations Group Mission in Brief

State · Provide protection of life and property · Preserve the peace, order and public safety · Disaster relief- weather emergencies, etc. · Search and Rescue · Protection of vital public services · Support to Civil Defense

Federal · Provide combat ready AOC operators in support of all USAFE AOC requirements worldwide and to support civil authorities at the direction of the governor of the State of New York

The 152nd Air Operations Group is a unit of the New York Air National Guard located at Hancock Field in Syracuse, NY. The members of the 152nd are trained and ready to support the Governor of New York in preserving the peace, order, and public safety of the state.

However, the unit's primary day-to-day mission is to augment and support the 603rd Air Operations Group, located at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. The 603rd is part of 3rd Air Force and U.S. Air Forces Europe (USAFE). The 603rd and 152nd work together to set up and run an AN/USQ-163 "Falconer" weapons system for the European theater of operations.

The AN/USQ-163 Falconer, better known as the Air and Space Operations Center (AOC), is the senior element of the Theater Air Control System (TACS). The Joint Force Commander (JFC) assigns a Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) to lead the AOC weapon system. Quite often the Commander, Air Force Forces (COMAFFOR) is assigned the JFACC position for planning and executing theater-wide air and space forces. When there is more than one service working in the AOC it is called the Joint Air and Space Operations Center (JAOC). In cases of Allied or Coalition (multinational) operations, the AOC is called a Combined Air and Space Operations Center (CAOC).

There are usually five divisions in the AOC. These separate, but distinct, organizations fuse information that eventually becomes the Air Tasking Order.

Strategy Division (STRAT) · Strategy Plans Team · Strategy Guidance Team · Operational Assessment Team

Combat Plans Division (CPD) · Target Effects Team · Master Air Attack Plan Team · Air Tasking Order Production Team · Command and Control Planning Team

Combat Operations Division (COD) · Offensive Ops Team · Defensive Ops Team · Senior Intelligence Duty Officer · Interface Control

Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance Division (ISR) · Analysis, Correlation, and Fusion · Targeting and Tactical Assessment · ISR Operations

Air Mobility Division (AMD) · Commander's Support Staff (CCS) o AMD Chief o Deputy AMD Chief o Superintendent · Air Mobility Control Team (AMDM) o Execution Cell o Mission Management o Flight Management o USAPAT Mission Planner o Maintenance · Airlift Control Team (AMDL) o Airlift Plans o DV Airlifts o Diplomatic Clearance o Requirements · Air Refueling Team (AMDR) · Aeromedical Evacuation Control Team (AMDA)


The Theater Battle Management Core Systems (TBMCS) is a set of software systems used by the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) and within Air Operations Centers by the United States Air Force combat forces to plan and execute military missions utilizing airborne resources. It has two levels of control, at the larger 'force' level, or at the detailed 'unit' level. It is used to generate the Air Tasking Order (ATO). It replaced the Contingency Theater Automated Planning System (CTAPS).

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) also uses the Combined Air Operations Center concept at multiple locations. Supporting the air component commands are four static Combined Air Operations Centres (CAOCCs) to direct NATO air operations - in Udem, Germany; Finderup, Denmark; Poggio Renatico, Italy; and Larissa, Greece; and two deployable CAOCs in Udem and Poggio Renatico. The static CAOCs can support Allied air operations from their fixed locations, while the deployable CAOCs will move where they are needed.

174th Fighter Wing

The 174th Fighter Wing (174 FW) is located at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base in Syracuse.

Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS)

The Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) is located at Griffiss Business and Technology Park on the former Griffiss Air Force Base in Rome, New York. This unit provides direct support for the annual NORAD Tracks Santa program.[1]
