C2/ISR PARTICIPANTS

Course objectives

Each course includes GCI Controllers, AWACS Controllers, and ISR Operators. They are full course participants and have to liaise with external agencies and to brief/debrief aircrew participants during the course. These personnel should also be prepared to give presentations covering their own areas of expertise.

The overall objectives for participants are to improve individual support to COMAO, learn to work as a cohesive team in an international environment, develop basic leadership skills within an international environment, and gain appreciation and understanding of other COMAO assets.

Course composition and target audience

Up to 5 C2/ISR participants are expected. They should have already received basic training and 1-2 years of experience supporting flying operations. Additionally, all C2 controllers are expected to have “live” controlled missions with a minimum of 6 aircraft, should have experience in joint and/or combined operations, in TEAM-controlling mission sets, e.g. A/A, A/G, AAR in one mission profile, or are already experienced in ACMI campaign or COMAO controlling.

Since flying courses are conducted in English and participants are expected to brief in English, we strongly urge participant nations to submit only sufficiently qualified personnel with an English proficiency level 3/3/3/2 SLP according STANAG 6001.

 

Note¹: If an individual does not meet one of the above requirements then the individual’s Squadron Commander must request a waiver from the TLP Commandant.

 

Note²: It is desirable for all C2/ISR participants to fly with NATO AWACS during one of the TLP missions. This will enable a better understanding of C2/ISR planning needs and how they influence mission execution. In order to fly onboard the NATO AWACS, please bring a signed authorisation from your home base chain of command.
