In the AOC, who is the senior army liaison?

• A. Air Liaison Officer
• B. Operations Officer
• C. Intelligence Liaison
• D. Battlefield Coordination Director

Answer: (D)

In the Air Operations Center, the senior Army liaison is the Battlefield Coordination Director. This role is specifically focused on coordinating air and land operations, acting as the primary bridge between Army forces and the AOC. The BCD ensures Army ground units receive timely air support, aligns air missions with ground plans, and oversees cross-service coordination so air power and ground maneuver work together smoothly.

Other roles support the AOC in important ways—the Air Liaison Officer concentrates on direct air-to-ground coordination with specific ground units, the Operations Officer manages the overall AOC run of operations, and the Intelligence Liaison handles intelligence sharing. But the Battlefield Coordination Director is the designated senior Army liaison, overseeing the broader Army–air integration across the battlespace.
