Allied Joint Publication (AJP)-3.3.5 is NATO??s key document for ASC. The doctrine is deliberately broad and is designed for the guidance of all NATO forces and those participating with NATO (i.e.@ Partnership for Peace@ non-International Military Staff). Other NATO publications@ employing the doctrine of ASC provided herein@ but describing specific procedures and tactics@ may not be available for Partner nations and/or affiliated forces yet. It is the responsibility of the respective commander to ensure familiarization of these procedures and tactics@ as deemed necessary. The doctrine in this publication is@ therefore@ not intended to restrict the authority and responsibility of commanders and their organic resources@ but rather to enhance overall operations. Adversary and friendly force structures@ the commander??s concept of operations@ the commander??s priorities and the operating environment will necessitate different specific procedures for ASC@ both for operations within and beyond NATO??s area of responsibility. Commanders@ in co-operation with collaborating forces and appropriate air traffic services (ATSs)@ will implement procedures required to accommodate national or NATO airspace control capabilities and requirements.
