| - Close Air Support is a combat procedure in which allied military aircraft provide fire support for allied ground forces by engaging and destroying enemy forces in their vicinity. The procedure has been in use since WWII.
- In military tactics, close air support (CAS) is defined as air action by fixed or rotary winged aircraft against hostile targets that are close to friendly ground or naval forces, and which requires detailed integration of each air mission with fire and movement of these forces. Close air support requires excellent coordination with ground forces. In advanced modern militaries, this coordination is typically handled by specialists such as Joint Fires Observers, Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC)s, and Forward Air Controllers (FAC).
- A Close Air Support mission is, as the name says, focused on helping a ground attack force before, during and after a battle. Dedicated air units (especially Gunships, but some bombers - as the UEF T1 Attack Bomber with its area of effect bombs or the Aeon T3 Strategic Bomber with the tracking bomb - can also be very useful) act as support to the main ground attack force by scouting ahead and engaging opposing forces prior to ground contact, by focusing on key units such as Missile Artillery or Shield Generators as the ground armies meet, and by mopping up the remaining enemy force in case of victory or covering friendly disengagement in the event of defeat. Some vehicles (Transports or UEF T2 Gunships) can also help friendly units movement by loading them and providing fast transport to c

| - In military tactics, close air support (CAS) is defined as air action by fixed or rotary winged aircraft against hostile targets that are close to friendly ground or naval forces, and which requires detailed integration of each air mission with fire and movement of these forces. The determining factor for CAS is detailed integration, not proximity. CAS may need to be conducted far from friendly forces, if the mission requires detailed integration with the fire and movement of these forces. A closely related subset of air interdiction, battlefield air interdiction denotes interdiction against units with near-term effects on friendly units, but which does not require integration with friendly troop movements. The term "battlefield air interdiction" is not currently used in US joint doctrine. Close air support requires excellent coordination with ground forces. In advanced modern militaries, this coordination is typically handled by specialists such as Joint Fires Observers, Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC)s, and Forward Air Controllers (FAC).
