Commanders and operations sections at each level of command plan ADC operations. ADC operations integrate the functions of many specialized units. Engineers plan and coordinate ADC operations at the site. Medical teams help sort and treat mass casualties and assist in initial evacuations. Army aviators help evacuate casualties and provide emergency resupply, communications relay operations, area damage assessment, and command and control actions.
Signal elements reestablish the signal system.
And many host-nation civil efforts on behalf of their population, like clearing rubble, aid military operations. The amount of MP support needed for ADC operations depends on the extent of the damage, the importance of the affected area, and the effect of the damage on the movement of troops and logistical supplies. Enemy attacks on key military facilities can leave them unprotected. Heavy damage in urban civilian areas can disrupt or interdict local government services. Route and area recons are key to determining the trafficability of the routes into, out of, and around affected areas, to obtaining a damage assessment, and to having early warning of the continued presence of the enemy.
