ground troops.
Who does Air Apportionment - ANSWERThe JFC

Intelligence Prepration of the Battlefield (IPB) - ANSWERIPB is the systematic
process of analyzing the mission variables of enemy, terrain, weather and civil
considerations in an area of interest to determine their effect on operations.
4 Steps of IPB - ANSWER1) Define the operating environment/battle-space
environment, 2) Describe the environment effects on operations/describe the battle-
space effects , 3) Evaluate the threat, 4) Determine the threat
The steps of the targeting process - ANSWERD3A - Decide, Detect, Deliver, Assess
High Payoff Target - ANSWERA target loss whose to the enemy will significantly
contribute to the success of the FRIENDLY course of action.
High Value Target - ANSWERA target the ENEMY commander requires for the
successful completion of the mission.
Target - ANSWERA target is an entity (person, place, or thing) considered for
possible engage,net or action to alter or neutralize the function it performs for the
adversary.

(Purple and Blue),
Restrictive FSCMs - ANSWERRFL, NFA, RFA, ZF, ACA
Airspace Coordination Area (ACA) - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERFormal and Informal
Informal ACA - ANSWERRequested 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.
Formal ACA - ANSWEREstablished and approved by the Airspace Control Authority
at the request of the appropriate commander; coordinated, planned, and
promulgated through ACO process.
