The JFC typically assigns overall responsibility for counter-air and interdiction missions to the joint force air component commander (JFACC). Normally, the JFACC also serves as both the area air defense commander (AADC) and the airspace control authority. The AADC is responsible for defensive counter-air operations. The AADC coordinates with joint and multinational partners to develop procedures for the theater air defense plan. The AAMDC supports the AADC for AMD throughout the AO.
