ACW (Army Co-operation Command)

The Army Co-operation Command (ACW) was a British military unit responsible for supporting the Army with aerial reconnaissance, surveillance, and communication during wartime. Its role involved coordinating aircraft to gather intelligence, spot enemy positions, and assist ground troops, effectively acting as an aerial extension of land operations. By providing real-time information and supporting attack strategies, ACW enhanced the army’s effectiveness and responsiveness on the battlefield. This command was a key component in integrating air power with ground forces, ensuring better coordination and situational awareness during military campaigns.
