PREFACE

Field Manual (FM) 44-94 is the doctrinal manual for US Army Air and Missile Defense Command (AAMDC) Operations. It provides detailed information on the AAMDC’s mission, organization and operations. The AAMDC, an Army multifunctional organization, performs theater air and missile defense (TAMD) planning, integration, coordination and execution functions for the Army Forces Commander and the Joint Forces Land Component Commander (ARFOR/JFLCC). Air and missile defense functions are accomplished under one or a mix of operational elements - attack, active defense, passive defense and Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C⁴I).

Providing doctrinal guidance for commanders, staffs, trainers and leaders at all levels, FM 44-94 also serves as the doctrinal basis for Army Service School curricula development.

Unless stated otherwise, masculine text does not refer exclusively to men.
