| If the targets were in the corps AO, the ASOC either executed the prosecution or passed them to the combined air operations center (CAOC) through both the CAS cell and the battlefield coordination detachment (BCD) if the target was beyond the fire support coordination line (FSCL); that didn't happen often because the ACE was focused inside the FSCL. In his previous assignment, he was the Operations Chief for the 1st Battlefield Coordination Detachment (Airborne) deployed to the Coalition/Joint Air Operations Center in Kuwait during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. The 19th Battlefield Coordination Detachment (BCD) is "on point" in Central Command's (CENTCOM's) area of responsibility (AOR) and is integrated at the top of the joint effects hierarchy at the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) at Al Udeid Airbase, Qatar. |
