  1. The Future Air-Land Interface: A Shared Responsibility Gp Capt Andrew Joint Air Land Organisation

  2. The Cold War Op GRANBY KOSOVO Op TELIC Op HERRICK 1914-1918 ALI – Historical Context 1944-45 1942 – North Africa

  3. ALI Over-Time ? Op TELIC/ HERRICK 1944-45 ? Op GRANBY WW2 - N Africa ALI Capability Cold War WW1 Kosovo BEF Time

  4. Project Coningham Keyes Milestones • Op Granby/Ex SAIF SAREEA 2/Op TELIC Air-Land interoperability was not good • Mid 02 – 1Gp supported BATUS • Jul 03 – First PC-K Policy Group Meeting • 02/3 DOC Offensive Air Audit. Confirmed shortcomings in Air’s ability to support Land/Maritime component. • 2007 – PC-K concludes, CK2 Starts • Mar 10 – CK2 Concludes, Institutionalising ALI commences

  5. ALI Contribution to Joint Action CK 2 Focus Understanding Capability Will Fires Influence Manoeuvre Battlespace Management

  6. Coningham-Keyes 2 • Inter-Service Liaison Elements • ASOC resourced • DAIT/GLO/ASO • Equipment • FIRESTORM • VCDS Ops Package • Danger Close • GMLRS PROCEDURES • Close Combat Attack • Rotary Wing CAS and CCA • Collective Training • MST Jt Fires package • Campaign FORM • Air ISR • Video Downlink • Education • Joint Training Objectives • ALI Capability at BG Level • 1 TACP per BG • 1 FAC per Coy • UK FAC Requirement • Op capability doubled • Future capability identified • Individual FAC Training • Completely revised • New 8-week FAC cse

  7. ARMOUR ENG SPT

  8. Op Blenheim Lessons • 100% coverage by Tornado GR4 for 45 hours. • Air Fuel Tanker availability: • Bespoke 216 Sqn Tristar extra fuel. • GR4 refuelling at Basra. • SH sorties fully integrated into plan • Presence and speed of Air = flexibility. • No UK Casualties! • Enabled by forward leaning individuals from Land and Air Components & a JOINT PLAN

  9. Op OQAB TSUKA – Turbine Move Shaping Operations ISR Tac AT Decisive Operations STRIKE – CAS Avn Electronic Attack ARTY Sustaining Operations Battlespace Management (BM) Strike Support to framework operations

  10. Battlespace Management HIDACZ STIRLING SFC-17K AMSL – BGs 17K- 22K AMSL –WWTOC RADIUS 10NM Check-in WWTOC PM37 CAS HOLD GOOJERAT 1 SECTOR 1 - RBG(S) (NOWHERE TOC) TRP 2 TF RV Pt SECTOR 2 - TF 71 (JAG) ROZ’s removed for clarity 3 SECTOR 3 -13 CSLR (WIDOW 49) CAS HOLD MERVILLE

  11. Op OQAB TSUKA – Lessons Early Joint/Combined Planning Ensures air capabilities are exploited Air for flank protection: DETER INFORM Flexibility of Air Platforms Avn for intimate support: Convoy SH resupply ISTAR 24 hour coverage

  12. Final Thought • We can consider ALI to be institutionalised when we no longer refer to an interface, rather to seamless output that marbles capability across all environmental domains, from the lowest tactical to the highest strategic levels and into a single symbiotic effect. Or when it just happens

  13. Institutionalising ALI CK I-ALI Focus Understanding Capability Will Fires Influence Manoeuvre Battlespace Management

  14. Enduring Principles Survive • Robust integrated Joint C2 from Tactical through to Theatre level. • Greater focus on non-Kinetic Approach. • Increased exploitation of the DIGITAL arena. • Common Joint Education and Training. • Increase role and utility of ISTAR in UNDERSTANDING
