Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS)

An Air Support Operations Squadron (ASOS) is a military unit that coordinates and manages air support for ground forces. They serve as a bridge between the air and land military units, providing real-time communication, targeting information, and tactical advice to ensure aircraft missions effectively support ground operations. ASOS personnel often work closely with Army units and control aircraft like fighter jets and attack helicopters, helping optimize air power to achieve mission success while maintaining safety and coordination on the battlefield.
