Course Information
Target Audience: This course covers operational level Special Operations Forces (SOF) air command and control (C2) nodes. It is designed for Air Force special operations personnel who could be tasked to work in a JSOAC, JSOAD, SOLE or JSOTF organization. The course is also applicable to all other SOF operators, mission planners, and SOF support staff members, and is available to others on a space available basis.
Description: The SOFAC2C course exposes students to SOF doctrinal concepts and processes necessary to work and operate in a SOF C2 organization. Specific areas of instruction include command relationships, SOF air and ground components, Air Operations Center divisions and liaisons, ROE, case studies, and SOF senior perspectives. Application of concepts and procedures will be reinforced by class exercises to ensure students understand the coordination between SOF ground forces, the Joint Air Operations Center (JAOC)/Special Operations Liaison Element (SOLE), and SOF's integration into the conventional theater C2 structure. Prerequisites/References: Due to the nature of the course material, students should have some experience or education in the following subjects: major unit deployments, unit ORIs, joint special operations exercises, or a theater designate FTX/JTX.
