Which team develops and publishes ACP, ACO, SPINS, FAP, and OPTASKLINK?

• A. Master Air Attack Planning (MAAP) Team
• B. C2 Plans Team
• C. ATO Production Team
• D. Combat Plans Division (CPD) Team

Answer: (B)

This item is about who creates and publishes the airspace control and data‑link planning products used to shape and communicate how operations will be space, time, and tasked. ACP (Airspace Control Plan) describes how airspace is allocated and managed for an operation; the ACO (Airspace Control Order) translates those plans into the actual directives for execution; SPINS (Special Instructions) provide the precise rules and procedures for airspace control actions; FAP (Fire Support Plan) coordinates fire support within the airspace and targeting plan; OPTASKLINK communicates tasking and data-link instructions to units. All of these are planning and execution-control documents that require coordination across the command-and-control planning functions. The team responsible for developing and publishing these planning products is the C2 Plans Team, because their focus is on command-and-control planning outputs that guide how airspace is controlled and how tasking information is disseminated. Other teams have different primary outputs: Master Air Attack Planning is handled by the MAAP Team, the actual Air Tasking Order is produced by the ATO Production Team, and broader combat plans come from the Combat Plans Division. So the C2 Plans Team is the one aligned with producing ACP, ACO, SPINS, FAP, and OPTASKLINK.
