Who is responsible for establishing specific policy on the applicability of the Airfield Suitability and Restrictions Report?

The responsibility for establishing specific policy on the applicability of the Airfield Suitability and Restrictions Report rests with the Major Command (MAJCOM). MAJCOMs have the authority and oversight to set policies and directives that guide operations and ensure safety in airfield management.

The Airfield Suitability and Restrictions Report is a crucial document that informs pilots and mission planners about the conditions and capabilities of airfields, including applicable restrictions. As such, MAJCOMs are best positioned to consider the broader operational context, resource allocation, and regulatory compliance necessary to ensure that airfield operations are effective and safe for all units under their command.

While the Unit Commander and other personnel like Air Traffic Control and the pilot in command have important roles in executing airfield operations, the strategic and policy-level decisions regarding the report's applicability are centralized within the MAJCOM framework, making this choice the most accurate.
