What is the function of the Liaisons in interacting with the MAAP team?

The function of the Liaisons in interacting with the MAAP (Master Air Attack Plan) team is primarily to provide available forces and submit Air Support Requests (ASR). This role is crucial because Liaisons serve as the communication link between the operational units and the MAAP team. They ensure that the air operations are aligned with the needs of the ground units, providing real-time information about available air resources, which facilitates effective planning and execution of air support missions.

By submitting ASR requests, Liaisons play a vital role in ensuring that the air operations are responsive to the changing dynamics of the battlefield, ultimately enhancing mission success through coordinated efforts. Their responsibilities are centered on resource management and operational responsiveness rather than overseeing air operations or managing non-kinetic operations, which are handled by other specialized units.
