In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The National Transportation Safety Board asks the Department of Defense to work with the Federal Aviation Administration to create a formal document that specifies each agency's roles and responsibilities for activating Special Use Areas (Warning Areas) and ensures timely activation to meet user needs. Before implementing these procedures, the agencies must also provide adequate training and formal briefings to air traffic control personnel at all facilities.
