31Fire Support Coordination Measure (FSCM)
A measure employed by commanders to facilitate rapid engagement of targets and simultaneously provide safeguards for friendly forces. FSCMs may be permissive or restrictive.
32Air Defense Measure (ADM)
A measure planned, coordinated, and employed to facilitate responsibilities for identification, detection, and tracking to engage enemy air and missile threats as directed by the AADC. ADMs are restrictive.
33Procedural Control
Relies on previously agreed to and distributed airspace control procedures and measures.
34Free-Fire Area (FFA)
A specific area into which any weapon system may fire without additional coordination with the establishing headquarters.

Targets either identified too late or not selected for action in time to be included in deliberate targeting, but when detected, meet criteria specific to achieving objectives.
39This type of CAS requires the TACP to submit a JTASR and grab a/c from ASOC, who tasks an on call mission. The ASOC holds the missions and send them forward to an approved target, following full coordination at each echelon.
