Marine Corps Techniques Publication MCTP 3-20C Formerly MCWP 3-22, Antiair Warfare 2 May 2016 Antiair warfare within the U. S. Marine Corps was forged in combat primarily during World War II when Marine aircraft and antiaircraft artillery were stationed throughout the Pacific basin. Campaigns for Guadalcanal and the Marshall Islands and other operations shaped today's concepts. Marine defense battalions employed ground-based air defense assets. Congressional Medal of Honor recipients Lieutenant Colonel Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, Captain Joe Foss, and other Marine aviators flew fighter sweep, combat air patrol, escort, and assorted offensive antiair warfare missions. They were among the first aviators to perform multirole antiair warfare tasks designed to protect friendly forces and gain air superiority. Today's Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) has a unique antiair warfare capability. Multimission-capable aircraft, a ground-based short air defense missile system, and a robust Marine air command and control system (MACCS) are tremendous force multipliers for MAGTF and joint force commanders. Marine Corps Techniques Publication MCTP 3-20C, Antiair Warfare., focuses on the tactics, techniques, and procedures of antiair warfare operations.

FOREWORD Marine aviation traces its origin to 1912, when First Lieutenant Alfred A. Cunningham reported for naval aviation training. By 1914 Marines had started using aircraft and would see Marine aviation flying its first combat missions during the ending months of World War I. Through operations in Nicaragua, Haiti, China, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and Southwest Asia, Marine aviation has distinguished itself as a formidable contributor to the Marine air-ground task force (MAGTF) combined arms team. This publication focuses on the Marine Corps philosophy of command and control, planning, operations, and emerging concepts and capabilities for commanders and staff officers who are responsible for planning and executing offensive air support operations. Offensive air support doctrine first began within the Marine Corps in 1935 when the Tentative Landing Operations Manual was published and has developed over the past 65 years into today's Marine Corps Warfighting Publication (MCWP) 3-23, Offensive Air Support. This doctrine does not discuss the specifics of unit-level tactics and procedures. It provides insight as to how Marine aviation is used to shape the deep, close, and rear battlespace as an integrated combat arm of the MAGTF OFFENSIVE AIR SUPPORT Table of Contents Historical Perspective of Offensive Air Support Offensive Air Support in Marine Aviation Command and Control Planning Operations Emerging Concepts and Capabilities

Leaders of combat support and combat service support organizations should familiarize themselves with the contents of this publication to understand the operational support requirements discussed. When applying the information contained in this publication, leaders must remember to-- l Make their orders concise, clear, and simple. l Give subordinates a thorough understanding of the intent. l Explain the mission and the immediate commander's concept of operations. l Give subordinates their mission (task[s] and unifying purpose). l Integrate subordinate elements in coordinated action. l Allow subordinates freedom of action consistent with the need for coordination. Do not issue detailed instructions covering every possible contingency. l Conduct a complete estimate of each situation and develop a plan that supports success.
