 INTRODUCTION

W elcome to the 505th Command and Control Wing! We are dedicated to delivering C2 combat capability
to warfighters worldwide. We were organized as a Wing in 2004, but we’ve been delivering C2 com-
bat capability to warfighters for decades. Most recently, in 2010, the Commander of Air Combat Command
signed our first Mission Directive detailing our many mission sets. It is ACC Mission Directive 205, Vol 3 and
is available at http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/shared/media/epubs/ACCMD205V3.pdf. Now is the perfect time
to circulate this Capabilities Guide, as we execute those missions on behalf of our joint warfighting partners,
delivering command and control testing, tactics development, and training.

The 505th Command and Control Wing, organized under the United States Air Force Warfare Center, is
headquartered at Hurlburt Field, Florida, and has two subordinate groups and one detachment.

Detachment 1, 505th Command and Control Wing, located at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, is focused on provid-
ing liaison and exercise support to the Combined Arms Center on air, space, and cyber power employment and
directly supporting the Army’s Battle Command Training Program.

The 505th Training Group, co-located with the Wing Headquarters at Hurlburt Field, is focused on getting opera-
tions center crews and staffs, including joint and coalition personnel, qualified and ready to take on their roles in
the field. It also provides opportunities to gain, maintain, and enhance currency and proficiency after achieving
combat mission ready or certified status. The Training Group has four subordinate squadrons and an Advanced
Programs Office and focuses on the integration of air, space, and cyber. Improved integration of systems,
processes, and people in training means better integration across the full range of military operations when our
forces are put into action. From initial qualification training to continuation training and advanced training for
C2 operators, staffs, and technicians, the 505th Training Group will satisfy your training requirements.

The 505th Test and Evaluation Group is headquartered at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, and is focused on the
integration of systems, processes, and people in operations and training. The Test and Evaluation Group has four
subordinate squadrons and two squadron detachments. Squadron missions range from support to operational
test and evaluation and experimentation, to distributed mission operations and training as well as the monitoring,
evaluation, and optimization of long-range radar in support of geographic Combatant Commanders.

This Capabilities Guide is for use by all our mission partners to better understand the capabilities we deliver.
The vision, mission, and capabilities outlined in this guide are the fundamental tenets by which we fulfill our role
to ensure the operational-level and tactical-level units of the Air Force are prepared to conduct combat operations
as a Joint team across a broad spectrum of conflict. They offer a conceptual foundation for ensuring we maintain
a long-term strategy, and are the vital mechanism to successfully innovate, integrate, and incorporate air, space,
and cyber war fighting capabilities across the United States Air Force. I invite you to examine this guide…your
Capabilities Guide, and see how we are postured to satisfy your requirements. I look forward to serving you.

Post WW-II
505 CCW History
The 505th Command and Control Wing’s unique history dates back to the establishment of the 505th Aircraft Control
and Warning Group (ACWG) on 2 May 1947. Starting at McChord Field (later Air Force Base), Washington, the group
activated and aligned under the Air Defense Command becoming the first post World War II air control and warning
unit. For the remainder of 1947, the group supported two radar stations, one at Arlington, Washington, and one at Half
Moon Bay near San Francisco, California. These stations worked with fighter squadrons to perfect ground-control and
interception techniques. The group included a fleet of B-25 “Mitchells” used extensively to perform radar calibration
flights. The experience gained from operating the two sites proved invaluable to air defense planners who were in the
process of designing a nationwide early warning radar network.

As tensions increased between the US and Communist Russia, the importance of the 505th mission grew. In September
1949, the group no longer operated B-25’s yet they remained focused on early warning systems, supporting detach-
ments up and down the Pacific Northwest coast. The group provided early warning operating radar systems to include
the AN/TPS-1. With a growing movement to assign homeland defense to reserve units, the 505 ACWG was
inactivated on 6 February 1952. However, this would not mark the end of the 505th. The Air Force
would revive the unit and its expertise with radars 13 years later.

Southeast Asia
On 2 November 1965, the 505 ACWG re-designated and activated as the 505th Tactical Control Group (TCG). Replac-
ing the 6250th Tactical Air Support Group that activated three months earlier, 505 TCG called Tan Son Nhut Airfield in
South Vietnam, home. The 505th was responsible to provide Command and Control, for the Tactical Control System
in Southeast Asia (SEA). This mission included the operation of numerous radar sites throughout South Vietnam and
Thailand from 1965 to 1973. In addition to the radar sites, the group managed O-1 “Bird Dogs” assigned to five squad-
rons from late 1965 through 1966. These O-1 units included the 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, and 23d Tactical Air Support
Squadrons operating from various bases throughout SEA. Forward Air Controllers (FAC) flew the “Bird Dogs” to find
and mark enemy activity, direct air strikes, and perform battle damage assessments.

Initially assigned to the Second Air Division in Vietnam, the 505th re-aligned under the Seventh Air Force on 1 April
1966. Soon afterward, the 505th received approval for its emblem and official motto - “Search and Direct.” The group
eventually lost its flying squadrons, but the radar mission grew. The 505th distinguished itself as the only unit to fur-
nish all of SEA an electronics ground environment system for aircraft control and warning and radar services. After
eight years of service in Vietnam the group earned thirteen campaign streamers and five Air Force Outstanding Unit
Awards with Combat “V” devices. Unfortunately, with the end of the war in 1973, came the unit’s inactivation.

6
1980 and Beyond
The 505th’s lineage continued with
the activation of the 4442d Tactical Control Group on 1 March
1980. Functioning as the 4442d, the unit aligned under the
USAF Tactical Air Warfare Center. The group established a
headquarters at Hurlburt Field, Florida where it managed a
command, control, communications (C3), and intelligence
complex. Along with the C3 operations, the unit conducted
operational tests and evaluated tactical air control elements.
They also provided training on tactical air control and
operated the USAF Air Ground Operations School
until 1997. Although, remaining at Hurlburt since 1980;
the 505th received several name changes to match
the evolution of its mission.

With the restructure of MAJCOMs in 1991/92, came the unit re-designation as the 505th Air Control Group. In April
1993, the 505th began operating the new USAF Battlestaff Training School; the Air Force re-designated the unit
505th Command and Control Evaluation Group. At the same time, the mission expanded to include a new detachment
at Kirtland AFB, New Mexico. By 1998, with the ever-increasing importance of the Air Operations Center as a
weapons system and the units expanding mission to train personnel in its use, the Air Force again changed the
505th’s name, this time to the Air Force Command and Control Training and Innovation Center. The center continued
to test new command and control systems and train personnel on their use in combat. Realizing that the center now
incorporated more than just a building with several detachments located around the US, the Air Force gave it group
status on 15 April 1999.

The group carried its mission into the 21st century providing modern training and techniques to increase the command
and control capabilities at the operational level of the Air Force. The group transitioned to a wing-level organiztion
on 12 March 2004. Now the 505th Command and Control Wing, it controls two groups: the 505th Training Group at
Hurlburt Field and the 505th Test and Evaluation Group at Nellis AFB. It spans 13 locations across the continental US
with over 1000 military, civilian, and contractor personnel providing operational level C2 testing, tactics development,
and training across Air, Space, and Cyber domains.

Operational Command Training Programs (OCTP)
OCTP is a CSAF-chartered program, executed by the 505 CCW through the OCTP Director, the 505 TRG
Commander. The OCTP director executes the program through the 705 TRS/OCTP office.

OCTP is the CSAF’s long-term operational level of war training program intended to provide peer-level perfor-
mance feedback to Combined/Joint Force Air Component Commanders (C/JFACC) and the Air and Space
Operations Center crew, enhancing their skills at the operational level of war. OCTP also focuses on the Air
Force Forces Commander and staff. The program focuses on the pivotal role of the Air and Space Expedition-
ary Task Force (AETF) Commander and the diverse functional responsibilities of the AETF staff in operational
planning and execution. OCTP is not an evaluation program, but rather a training and education program using
group academics and individual observations and recommendations by experienced operational air and space
warfare professionals during Joint and Service operational-level exercises. OCTP is geared to support opera-
tional-level exercises, such as BLUE FLAG, ULCHI FREEDOM GUARDIAN, KEY RESOLVE, TERMINAL
FURY, AUSTERE CHALLENGE, and VIRTUAL FLAG/RED FLAG. OCTP also provides subject matter
expertise during C2 academic courses such as the JFACC Course, Joint Air Operations Senior Staff Course,
and C2 Warrior Advanced Course.

To accomplish its objectives, OCTP is

divided into two tiers. The two tiers are
complementary and are designed to work
together to provide an operational-level
focus to Air Force training audiences in
exercises, experiments, and C2 academics.

Advanced Programs (AP)

The AP office is the 505 CCW’s agency responsible for the incorporation of compartmented capabilities within
the Air and Space Operations Center. As part of the 505th Training Group, it is located on the campus of the
505 CCW at Hurlburt Field, FL.

AP provides specialized and compartmentalized C2 dominance to joint and coalition warfighters through
testing, tactics development, training, distributed missions operations, and experimentation. This improves
and standardizes specialized combat capabilities into training and exercises for C2 warfighters, testing and
experimentation of their systems and processes, and documentation of their processes.

AP is actively engaged in all program-level issues throughout the Joint Exercise Life Cycle to include: build-
ing MSELs, conducting studies, authoring story-lines and injects to support compartmented capability exercise
scenarios, providing program-level capability exercise control for AF/Joint exercises and experimentation, role
playing key offices/commands for training audiences, producing OPLAN/CONPLAN Annex S and required
IJSTO messages and orders.

“Without air and space control, our ability to conduct
military operations would be severely limited, our
joint teammates subjected to unacceptable risk, and
our strategic choices constrained.”

“Airmen are the world’s recognized experts in

executing effective, high-volume command and
control of air, space, and cyber operations.”

“In the coming year, we must focus on

continuing to provide air, space, and cyber control
that combatant commanders have come to expect. ”
