FIGURE 13 THE NAWDC MISSION STATEMENT FROM THE COMMAND BRIEF.
Currently, the closest working relationship between NAWDC and the other Warfighting centers is with the
surface Warfighting development center, and with the potential to cross link aviation with the weapons
onboard surface ships this lays a solid foundation to go where the technology is evolving as well.

There is a monthly video teleconference among the Warfighting development centers.
“ We focus on TTP development and doctrine, on upcoming major exercises and any Commander interest
items that the Commanders may have.

“The biggest change with the Warfighting Development Centers is our ability now to integrate with the other
communities, and to gain a better understanding of the evolving mission areas.”

The culmination of the training process at NAWDC is Air Wing Fallon when the air wing about to go on
deployment comes for its final training.

“Their training track, if you will, is to get ready for deployment.

“They will have completed the air wing, will have completed advanced readiness program, which is the
program done by platform for each of their type of squadrons. We start where they should be, at what level
they should be at, finishing ARP, and then we do a crawl, walk, run.

“The first week, week and a half, we give them the plan, we do everything for them.

“They don’t have to do any of the planning.

“They just have to execute.

“Once we see that they can execute, we’ll get to the next part where they get more involved in the planning,
we tighten the timelines down a little bit on them so it provides some pressure.
“We up the game, if you will, on the threats side of things so things feel a bit more real, and finally the last
week is ATP, the advanced training phase, where they are pretty much on a timeline.
