Article Abstract:

The incorporation of AH-64 Apache attack helicopters into the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) area of operations (AO) in Iraq has necessitated certain modifications to aircraft control procedures. Changes in communications procedures to enable the aircraft's incorporation into the Marine air command and control system (MACCS), and the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) that form the integration and deconfliction steps for Marine aircrew and terminal controllers are discussed.
