So the JFACC sends the AOD and ACO to the CAOC, AOCC, ACC and AFLD (at least in ACCS); the CAOC plans the ATO with COMAOs; the AOCC plans the CAS; the ACC plans the AD. Then the WX goes TU and it all goes FUBAR.
Just remember that a US CAOC is an AOC and a French one is a CCOA and youŽll be OK.....
