The Combined Air Operations Center, an Abbreviated History Op-ed: US Army Veteran Mike Thornton shares his perspective on Combined Air Operation Centers (CAOCs) in light of the ongoing location debate surrounding the Norwegian CAOC. "The modern CAOC is a place where a group of assigned military people will come together to think, coordinate, and collaborate to plan and execute a variety of air operations," he writes in this op-ed.
"The Important Thing is that the Allied Air Operations Center is Actually Placed in Norway” Several regional NATO headquarters responsible for military operations are to be established in the Nordic countries. "In Norway, the debate about the regional air headquarter has revolved around its location. We have seen too little of what this entails in a comprehensively Nordic and allied framework," says Professor Håkon Lunde Saxi at the Norwegian Defence Command and Staff College.
