Who is overall responsible for the management of the ATC facility?

The overall on‑site management of an ATC facility rests with the ATC Facility Officer. This role carries the broader responsibility for the facility’s mission readiness, safety, procedures, staffing, training, and day‑to‑day operations, making them the senior authority who directs controllers and support personnel. The Commanding Officer is the unit’s top commander overall, but operational management of the ATC facility is delegated to the ATCFO. A Flight Supervisor handles shifts within the operations, and the LCPO oversees enlisted personnel, but neither has the same broad, facility‑wide management authority as the ATCFO.
