NATO AJP-3.3.5 PDF

Allied Joint Publication (AJP)-3.3.5 Allied Joint Doctrine for Airspace Control provides doctrine to plan, execute and assess airspace control during NATO or NATO-led operations. This publication is a part of the air operations doctrine architecture.

Purpose

The purpose of AJP-3.3.5 is to provide the necessary guidance to conduct airspace control and enable air, land, maritime, cyberspace, space and special operations forces to operate in an efficient, integrated, and flexible manner, without undue restraint or risk to friendly forces and civilian users, and to prevent friendly fire. This airspace control doctrine provides commanders with the operational flexibility to effectively employ forces according to mission priorities. It is not intended to restrict the authority and responsibility of commanders and their organic resources, but rather to enhance overall operations. AJP-3.3.5 is closely linked to AJP-3, Allied Joint Doctrine for the Conduct of Operations, specifically regarding engagement management.
