Which team is responsible for Master Air Attack Planning?

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

Answer: (C)

Master Air Attack Planning focuses on crafting the integrated plan for air-to-ground operations, coordinating target selection, sequencing, and allocation of air assets to achieve the mission. The team dedicated to this is the Master Air Attack Planning Team, because they own and maintain the MAAP—the single, coherent plan that guides how targets are prioritized, when engagements occur, and what effects are expected. This plan ties together weather, intelligence, asset availability, and command priorities to produce a unified execution path for air attacks. The ATO Production Team then uses the MAAP to generate the actual air tasking orders for execution. Other teams handle related concerns—e.g., Combat Plans develops broader campaign concepts, and C2 Plans focuses on command and control architecture—but the responsibility for Master Air Attack Planning itself rests with the MAAP Team.
