Who supervises the coordination of air support based on army guidance?

The supervision of coordination for air support, guided by army direction, is primarily the responsibility of ASOC personnel. ASOC, or Air Support Operations Centers, are integral to ensuring that air power is effectively integrated with ground operations. They act as the liaison between ground forces and air support, facilitating communication and coordination to enhance operational effectiveness.

ASOC personnel are specifically trained to interpret the needs and priorities of ground units, translate them into actionable air support requests, and ensure that air units are ready to respond appropriately. Their expertise in both air and ground operations allows them to manage the complexities of joint fires and air support, ensuring that the capabilities are used efficiently in alignment with the army's operational goals.

In contrast, other choices may play supporting roles or be responsible for other elements of operations, but they do not have the primary responsibility for coordinating air support as dictated by army guidance. The Air Mobility Division focuses on aerial logistics and transport, Divisional Commanders oversee the larger operational directives but do not handle air support directly, and Combat Operations staff focus on day-to-day operational management, rather than specific air-ground coordination tasks.
