82 Formal Training › Combat Targeting Course (CTC). This Air Education and Training Command (AETC)-sponsored course is the Air Force’s primary targeteer training course. Anyone working directly in the ISRD targeting and assessment team or the COD/CPD targeting team should consider this course › Joint Targeting School. This US Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM)-sponsored course is another course for those who are working in ISRD and/or COD/CPD targeting. The joint targeting school provides a modern, joint perspective on targeting issues. › BDA Course. This DIA-sponsored course provides the fundamentals of tactical assessment › Point mensuration training and certification program. This program is an integral part of the geospatial point mensuration process and is required to build aim points for JDAM employment. › Collection Manager’s Course. This AETC-sponsored course is not specifically necessary for targeting. However, those involved with targeting will benefit by gaining an understanding of ISR collection assets, how they are tasked, and timelines for ISR asset tasking, collection, exploitation, and reporting › Information Warfare Applications Course. This AETC-sponsored course is critical for information warfare (IW) specialists. As IW comes to play a larger role in Air Force operations, understanding of IW will become increasingly important, and nowhere more so than in targeting efforts › Weaponeering Mobile Training Teams. These AETC-sponsored teams are available for those who cannot attend the combat training center or are in need of refresher training. Instructors travel to bases to conduct training, instead of requiring students to travel to Goodfellow AFB Initial Qualification Training (IQT) The Air Force has established a formal training unit for IQT of those filling CAOC positions. Located at Hurlburt Field, it was formally called the joint aerospace command and control course. This course will indoctrinate personnel into the inner workings of the CAOC. Targeting is addressed, but not explained in depth as it is in other specialized courses. Mission Qualification Training (MQT) Each standing CAOC (the MAJCOM or NAF’s AOG, AIG, and/or AIS) is required to have an MQT program. MQT provides more in-depth training in CAOC processes, including targeting, as well as nuances specific to the theater.
