Just an addition to my post above ^.
I've done some searching on google and have found that an EAW is located at 9 RAF Bases around the UK, and to boil it down to basics; they're their for operational effectiveness. Meaning that all the support functions from those particular EAWs know each other, work together and are familiar with each other. They'll be operationally effectiveness which means the RAF can be out on Operation wherever in the world they are needed, because the "crews" are already pretty efficient! (i.e: RAF Leuchars is 125 EAW and has a supply function, force protection, group support, comms, media personnel [and many more] which can move out as 'One', including the Tornado F3).
Right, on a different note;
I've been trying to get my general knowledge up as much as possible. Here's what I've been looking at so far.
- My background! (Work history, educations, activities)
- RAF background.
- Knowledge on WSOp and SNCO ATC
- NATO (Amount of countries and current objectives)
- Expeditionary Air Wings
- Op TELIC
- Op HERRICK
- UK Air Defence objectives
- Reading 'The Week' weekly, and reading the Guardian daily, as well as keeping on top of other current affairs.
Would you suggest I'm on the right lines?
