Which statement accurately describes a primary responsibility of the Arrival Airfield Control Group (AACG)?

• A. Receives and moves personnel/equipment from aircraft flight line to initial staging area.
• B. Both of the above.
• C. Controls and coordinates the offload of airlifted units and equipment and provides limited CSS to units.
• D. None of the above.

Answer: (B)

The key task is to manage arrivals at the airfield by handling the flow from the aircraft to the initial staging area and by coordinating the offload of airlifted units and equipment while providing limited combat service support. The Arrival Airfield Control Group is responsible for receiving personnel and equipment from the flight line, directing them to the initial staging area for processing and onward movement. It also controls and coordinates the offload process, ensuring the unload is sequenced, safe, and properly resourced (with vehicles, personnel, and equipment to move cargo and people). In addition, the AACG offers limited CSS to arriving units to sustain them as they begin to establish operations until full support can be set up. Because both receiving/moving personnel and equipment to the staging area and managing the offload with basic support are core duties, the combined statement accurately reflects the AACG’s primary responsibilities.
