We used to own the battlespace. In those days it was a 5W on a time sensitive target and a 5-10 page death-by-PowerPoint CONOP with approval from your FOB (your Bn CDR; with air, CJSOTF (your group commander) to roll for non-time sensitive targets. Usually we were always briefing our commanders on stuff we were looking at so they already had a heads up as to probable missions we would be trying to get approved.
Possesion (of the battlespace) is 9/10ths of the law it would seem.
