Which CPD team is responsible for ATO production?

• A. ATO Production Team (ATO)
• B. Targeting Effects Team (TET)
• C. Master Air Attack Planning (MAAP)
• D. C2 Plans Team (C2)

Answer: (A)

Producing the Air Tasking Order is the responsibility of the ATO Production Team. This team gathers and integrates all inputs from targeting, plan development, and command-and-control planning to compile the daily ATO, ensuring timing, asset allocations, and mission priorities are coherent and executable. The targeting effects team handles developing targets and the desired effects, the Master Air Attack Plan team shapes the overall attack concept and sequencing, and the C2 Plans Team designs how assets will coordinate and communicate. But the actual production and final formatting of the ATO rests with the ATO Production Team.
