Which center controls helicopter-borne movement during ship-to-shore movement to meet tactical and logistical requirements?

• A. LFSP
• B. Tactical Air Control Center (TACC)
• C. AACG
• D. Navy Control Organization (NCO)

Answer: (B)

The key idea is who centrally plans and directs airlift operations to get helicopters from ship to shore in a way that supports both tactical moves and the logistics of bringing in troops and equipment. The Tactical Air Control Center functions as the hub for planning, tasking, and controlling all air operations in the theater, including helicopter lift for ship-to-shore movement. It integrates lift missions with the broader air plan, coordinates with the amphibious task force and ground forces, assigns helicopter sorties, and manages flight routes, timing, and landing zones to meet the mission’s tactical and logistical needs. This centralized control ensures deconfliction with other air and surface assets and keeps the operation synchronized from sea to shore.

Other options don’t fit this primary role. The LFSP focuses on landing-force support tasks on the beach rather than managing the entire airlift control for ship-to-shore movement. The AACG handles specific air assault coordination but is not the general air-control center responsible for all helicopter lift operations. The Navy Control Organization isn’t the designated hub for coordinating helicopter movement in this context.
