Air tasking order An air tasking order ( ATO ) is a means by which the Joint Forces Air Component Commander ( JFACC ) controls air forces within a joint operations environment . The ATO is a large document written in United States Message Text Format ( USMTF ) that lists air sorties for a fixed 24 - hour period , with individual call signs , aircraft types , and mission types ( i . e . close air support or air refueling ) . The ATO is created by an air operations center which has command and control for a particular theater ( i . e . Combined Air Operations Center for Southwest Asia ) . More specifically , the Combat Plans Division of the AOC is responsible for creating the ATO . Use of the standardized USMTF allows ATO processing by a variety of legacy computer models , newer software , and even word processors .
