31
Fire 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.
32
Air 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.
33
Procedural Control
Relies on previously agreed to and distributed airspace control procedures and measures.
