This Manual implements Department of the Air Force Policy Directive (DAFPD) 13-2, Air Traffic

developing and processing Special Use Airspace (SUA) and other airspace for military use. It
covers aeronautical matters governing the efficient planning, acquisition, use, and management of

decrease disturbances from flight operations that might cause adverse public reaction and provides
flying unit commanders with general guidance for working with stakeholders and dealing with
local issues. This publication applies to the Department of the Air Force services (USAF and
USSF), Air Force Reserve (AFR), and the Air National Guard (ANG) component of the National
