The CPD is tasked with developing detailed plans for air operations, which includes the creation of the MAAP. This plan serves as a comprehensive directive for how air assets will be allocated and utilized to achieve operational objectives effectively.

In the context of air operations, the Combat Plans Division focuses on integrating various elements and ensuring that the air operation plans align with the overarching strategy.
