◍ Airspace Coordination Area (ACA).
Answer: A three-dimensional bock of airspace in a target area, established
by the appropriate commander, in which aircraft are reasonably safe from
friendly surface fires. Primary used in CAS situations for high-volume fire;
primary method by which to provide procedural control in CAS
environment; burden of deconfliction rests with ground commander.
◍ Two types of ACAs.
Answer: Formal and Informal
◍ Informal ACA.
Answer: Requested by the maneuver commander and approved at BN or
higher; established and used for specific operations that do not conflict with
other jointly-used airspace.

Answer: Established and approved by the Airspace Control Authority at the
request of the appropriate commander; coordinated, planned, and
promulgated through ACO process.
◍ 6 characteristics for an effective ACA.
Answer: 1) Cover ingress, egress, employment and holding2) Easily
identified from air3) Allow simultaneous use of Artillery and CAS4)
Include Lateral and Vertical limits5) Simple to put in effect6) Deconflicted
from known and/or templates threats

Answer: During Step 2 of MDMP, Mission Analysis
◍ What is Tactical Risk Assessment (TRA) / Who accomplishes it.
Answer: TRA is the processing of available information to ascertain a level
of acceptable risk to friendly forces or civilians / Accomplished by
, supported commander with advice from CAS subject matter experts.

Answer: 1) Mission Request2) Coordination 3) Mission Data
◍ Three types of control.
Answer: 1) Type 1 - JTAC must visually acquire the attacking aircraft and
the target for each attack. JTAC will analyze the attacking aircraft geometry
and provide "Cleared Hot" or "Abort"2) Type 2 - JTAC requires control of
individual attacks and any or all of the following conditions exist: JTAC is
unable to visually acquire the attacking aircraft at weapons release or JTAC
is unable to visually acquire th target; JTAC can get real-time targeting data
from JFOs, Scouts, etc. 3) Type 3 - JTAC requires ability to provide
clearance for multiple attacks within a single engagement; states "Cleared to
Engage"
