# Resolve Commit
At this point there are several different options depending on how the intercept has progressed and what contacts are located where.
At this point the situation is dynamic and AIC and fighters need to work together to solve the commit.
AIC should focus on three things
1. Provide Threat calls to un-targeted groups that reach threat range of the fighters.
2. Provide responses to fighter questions.
3. Providing directive targeting to un-targeted groups
After fighters engage and destroy their initial targeting priorities, they will likely ask for BRAA to specific groups, or Bogey Dope. If those groups are outside of threat range, they will revert to the target/declare/employ steps.

# Anchor Flow Picture
![[AIC Timeline.png|300]]
After the A/C believe they have completed the commit, they will anchor their location, report their flow, and request a picture.
>[!example] Anchor Flow Picture
>“`[Callsign]`, `[B/E]`, flow `[heading]`, picture”
>>[!quote]
>>`A/C`: “Victory-1, rock 270/25, flow 180, picture”
The AIC will respond with a picture, a commit call, or a popup/threat call as appropriate. They may also adjust the flow direction.
If the picture is clean or there is no need for an immediate commit, the AIC will direct the fighters to “reset CAP, say state” or to “Anchor `[location]`”
