In areas where ADLOs are not assigned, who is responsible for coordination with the appropriate military authority for preparation of supplements?

The responsibility for coordination with the appropriate military authority for the preparation of supplements in areas where Air Defense Liaison Officers (ADLOs) are not assigned falls to FAA service areas. This is significant because FAA service areas are designed to manage the air traffic within a specific geographic region and ensure that both civilian and military operations are conducted safely and efficiently.

The FAA service areas serve as the primary point of contact for air traffic management, facilitating the necessary communication between civil aviation and military operations. This includes ensuring that air traffic procedures are effectively integrated and that any supplements to operations are prepared in accordance with military guidelines.

Other entities, such as military command centers, regional control towers, and national air traffic organizations, play critical roles in the overall air traffic management and coordination process, but the primary coordination responsibility in the absence of ADLOs specifically lies with the FAA service areas. This helps maintain an efficient framework for airspace usage and operational compatibility between military and civilian air traffic.
