TACRON 11 detachments deploy throughout
the Pacific Fleet, providing centralized planning, control,
and integration of all air operations in support of
amphibious operations, training and transits.
Helicopters are employed in the movement of combat troops and supplies from ships to the assault objective area. Fixed and rotary-wind aircraft provide Close Air Support (CAS) for friendly troops and ensure that air superiority exist in the area of the amphibious operation.
The
squadron also maintains the capability of temporarily
manning and operating a remote or existing control
facility ashore, thus supporting amphibious or date
of relief operations. In addition, TACRON personnel
serve on the staff of the Joint Force/Coalition Force
Air Component Commander (JFACC/CFACC), providing air
control and planning in unified or allied theater of
operation. |
