Who has engagement authority over RADC/SADC?

• A. JFACC
• B. AADC
• C. JFACC AADC
• D. CJTF

Answer: (C)

In joint air defense, engagement authority is allocated to both the theater-level commander and the area-level defender. The JFACC provides the theater-wide direction for air operations and retains overarching authority, while the AADC is responsible for executing air defense within its assigned region. RADC (regional air defense) and SADC (subregional air defense) commanders have the authority to engage threats within their areas, but their actions are coordinated under the JFACC’s overall plan. This arrangement ensures timely, localized responses to threats while maintaining unity of effort across the theater. So, engagement authority over RADC/SADC comes from both the JFACC and the AADC working together.
