RC Coor

(JWC)


Response Cells

- Represent the COs and the various staff elements of the

units/headquarters that interact directly with the TA

- Major Activities

- Role play (receive/issue orders and receive/issue

reports)

- Plan and implement in simulation

- Maintain the consistency (control)

- Coordinate with the SITCEN

- Coordinate with the other RCs
