For the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the DASC for the I Marine Expeditionary Force was provided by MASS-3 with augmentation from MASS-1 and MASS-6. MASS-3 was divided into a main body (DASC Main) and a forward echelon (DASC Fwd). The main was attached to the Main Headquarters of the 1st Marine Division while the forward was attached to the Division "Jump Command Post (CP)." The DASC (Fwd) was also a part of Task Force Tripoli when they went into Tikrit at the end of the invasion. Air support Marines from MASS-1 also provided a DASC for Task Force Tarawa and staffed a DASC (A) detachment out of Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait. Aa additional Air Support Element from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit supported British Forces on the Al Faw Peninsula. Air Support Liaison Teams (ASLTs) were also provided to all of the regiments within the 1st Marine Division to affect coordination with the DASC.
