This field manual (FM) is a doctrinal guide to Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) operations. It is intended for use by the AAMDC commander and his staff as well as the commanders and staffs of Army, joint, and multinational elements that interact with the AAMDC in the conduct of theater air and missile defense operations. The manual includes chapters on the AAMDC mission, roles and organization; command and control relationships; operations; support; and communications. Also included are appendices that describe the AAMDC equipment and provide a formatted sample air and missile defense (AMD) annex. The sample AMD annex is included to assist AAMDC planners in developing the AMD annex to the operations plan.
