Air Support Operations Center (ASOC)

An Air Support Operations Center (ASOC) is a military facility that coordinates and manages air support for ground forces during operations. It acts as a communication hub, ensuring that aircraft provide timely and accurate support, such as airstrikes or reconnaissance, directly to troops in the field. The ASOC facilitates the planning and execution of air missions by assessing the needs of ground forces, coordinating with pilots, and managing the overall airspace to optimize support while minimizing risks. Essentially, it ensures that air power is effectively integrated into ground operations to enhance mission success.
