Air Liaison Officer

An Air Liaison Officer (ALO) is a military professional who acts as a strategic communicator between ground forces and air units. Their role is to coordinate and facilitate the effective use of aircraft for activities like reconnaissance, close air support, and supply. They assess battlefield needs, provide mission planning, and ensure air operations support ground objectives safely and efficiently. By bridging the gap between different military branches, the ALO ensures seamless collaboration, optimizing the impact of air power to support ground troops' success while maintaining safety and operational cohesion.
