Airmen describing Command and Control Operations
A typical day working in Command and Control (C2) operations in the Air Force may vary depending on the specific job and the current operational environment. However, generally, it may involve:
Monitoring and analyzing information from various sources, such as radar, satellites, and other sensor systems, to provide situational awareness
Coordinating and directing the actions of aircraft and other assets in response to changing situations and to achieve mission objectives
Collaborating with other C2 personnel and working in a team environment
Communicating with other military branches, federal agencies, and coalition partners to share information and coordinate actions
Making quick, informed decisions in a fast-paced, high-stress environment
Using advanced command and control systems and software to plan, execute, and monitor operations
Participating in training, drills, and exercises to maintain and improve skills
Providing guidance and training to other Air Force personnel on C2 best practices and procedures
Participating in classified and unclassified meetings with other C2 team members and other agencies
It's important to note that depending on the specific role, a typical day may also include different responsibilities. C2 operations are critical to the air operations, the air battle management, and other critical decision making processes.
Airmen with this AFSC perform nuclear C2 actions in the execution phase of Emergency War Orders, and directs conventional C2 actions supporting Emergency Plans, Operations Orders, and Operations Plans. They relay C2 instructions for launch, execution, diversion, recall, evacuation, recovery, recycle, and reconstitution of forces. These airmen receive, process, and disseminate emergency action messages by voice and record copy. They coordinate with other companies and organizations for this planning as well.
