Briefing Purpose

Thesis Statement (BLUF)• The TIS, THADS, and JBADS programs are rapidly emerging

Air Mobility capabilities which have resulted in numerous total force, joint, international, and industry partnerships through systems and missions development.

Actionable Takeaways • Familiarize Air Mobility personnel with an overview of the TIS,

THADS, and JBADS; understand how personnel develop and deploy these systems to enhance rapid global mobility capabilities.

Requirement for Decontamination of Aircraft

JP 3-40, “Countering WMD” 31 Oct 14, Appendix B Page 8

•“No state aircraft may fly over, or land on, the foreign territory of a nation without prior diplomatic clearance.”•“A state may…deny access to its national airspace to aircraft contaminated by [weapons of mass destruction] WMD

Without aircraft decontamination capability any service with long range aircraft may be limited in its wartime mission
