Thehighest number of personnel counted on ourPE at any time was 94, out of which 64 wereengaged within the Operations Division.Following the improvements with our extendedAPA in 2008, the Air Component at Ramsteinintroduced a new concept for Air Commandand Control; the Joint Force Air Component(JFAC) concept, which builds on having oneAir Operations Centre embedded under the AirComponent umbrella versus having theplanning and execution of Air Operationsdelegated and executed by several CAOCs.The JFAC concept resulted in the northernCAOCs (Uedem and Finderup) having a muchcloser cooperation with our higherheadquarter.
