Not quite Biggus.
When I worked in the SH Force (late 90's I was attached to the MAOTs for a couple of months before moving up to SHF HQ) MAOTs were attached to Battle Groups and responsible for planning and the coordinating helicopter moves. That could be anything from a simple day platoon move to running a multi-lane HLS at night on NVGs to move the entire BG. They would also go out a recce HLSs and help out with one off lifts eg recovering a CVRT or Chinook.
To help them out they normally had a 2 man team from the Royal Sigs to run their comms. There was also a National Standby commitment and a requirement for a couple of them to be Para qualed. They also worked closely with JHSU, who rigged the loads and owned the HUSLE (Helicopter Under Slung Load Equipment).
Generally they were very busy (though they were responsible for updating the HLS directories, so it wasn't all hard work). Of course, it may have changed a bit since then, but it used to be one of those jobs where you were the rotary expert in the BG and had to be able to plan, brief and execute moves with bugger all support (though making a brew for your Siggies every now and again went a long way). It was one of those jobs that sorted the men from the boys rather quickly.
