How does the AOC support Civil-Military Operations (CMO)?

The AOC supports Civil-Military Operations (CMO) primarily by coordinating air resources for humanitarian efforts. This coordination is crucial as it ensures that the necessary airlift support, medical supplies, and logistical capabilities are effectively organized to assist in civil operations during crises or disasters. By leveraging air resources, the AOC facilitates rapid response to humanitarian needs, whether it involves transporting relief supplies, medical teams, or conducting aerial assessments to determine the extent of damage and needs on the ground.

The focus of the AOC in this context is on maximizing the effectiveness of airpower in support of civil objectives, which is aligned with the broader goals of CMO to enhance the welfare of the civilian population and support governmental and non-governmental organizations. This makes coordinating air resources an integral part of how the AOC contributes to CMO efforts.
