Sec. 813.4  Combat camera operations.

    (a) Air Force COMCAM forces document Air Force and air component 
activities.
    (b) The supported unified command or joint task force commander, 
through the air component commander (when assigned), controls Air Force 
COMCAM forces in a joint environment. If an air component is assigned, 
the air component normally manages documentation of its operations. Air

support for joint operations will be proportionate to USAF combat force 
participation. In airlift operations, HQ AMC may be the supported 
command.
    (c) During contingencies, exercises, and other operations, the Air 
Force provides its share of Unified Command headquarters COMCAM and 
visual information support forces for still photographic, motion media, 
graphics, and other VI services.
    (d) COMCAM and VI forces take part in Air Force and joint exercises 
to test procedures and over-all readiness. COMCAM and VI forces also 
provide VI products to command, operations, public affairs, historical, 
and other significant customers.
    (e) Sourcing COMCAM forces. See AFMAN 10-401 for specific 
procedures.
    (1) When VI support teams are required, the lead wing's VI UTC 
deploys as primary, whenever possible. If lead wing VI support is not 
available, the providing command sources the requirement from other 
active or reserve component forces, or coordinates with other MAJCOMs 
for assistance.
    (2) Air Force VI personnel who assist supported commands in 
determining COMCAM and VI requirements and sourcing consider the total 
USAF VI community as a resource. Planners consider employing USAF 
deployable VI support teams, augmentation combat documentation teams 
from AFSPACECOM, AETC, and ACC, as well as active and reserve COMCAM 
teams.
