Two sided street. The army has never been that good at integrating with other components. In future, the AOCC(L) and BCE are going to have to be fully integrated and supported to make it work.
In particular, if the Apache/Longbow is to be fully integrated into datalink net planning (L16/22); and to allow real-time targeting coordination and handover to platforms like the Jag via IDM etc, then the AAC is going to have to start integrating into joint planning instead of using them as the personal toys of the Corps commander.
