Reading lists
Whilst a long time out of OASC and out of touch with what Sleaford Tech are teaching, you might also want to consider some other books that might give you a broader outlook to operations. Like it or not, airpower is rarely going to be employed in pure air roles for its own sake for the foreseeable future, so you may as well start reading up early on the broader tenets of COIN and possible theories on how military power is shaping up.
The Accidental Guerrilla - David Kilcullen
Understanding Modern Warfare - David Jordan et al
Airpower in Small Wars: Fighting Insurgents and Terrorists - James Corrum
Also the Air Warfare Centre have cobbled together their own booklet (largely cribbed from the US Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual) might be worth a quick read if not automatically issued at IOT. Incidentally, the original Counterinsurgency Field Manual can be found online via Google so you don't even have to buy it!
