During this year long deployment I was assigned to the BN TOC. My primary duties included receiving and processing flight plans for approximately thirty aircraft of different configurations and units. This task includes validating risk assessments and mission briefs to ensure all mandatory information was provided and conducting post-flight briefings with the air crew. This TOC was the central point of information for flight schedules, weather and mission briefings for the almost 150 aviation crew members. Local and higher commands would maintain contact with the TOC for information on the status of missions and battalion aviation assets. I acted as RTO, ensuring the continued accurate flow of information using FM radio, HF and UHF radios, BFT, SATCOM radios, MIRC, Ventrilo and VIOP phones. Other TOC duties included ensuring situation and operations maps are posted and updated in a timely manner. Weather awareness was maintained for areas of all flights and notifying active aircrew teams of severe weather warning, watches and weather advisories. Ensure all information is accurate and correlated in a way to ensure the de-confliction of mission flights and to provide the most up to date information in a fast changing environment.
