actively involved in the operational planning process. This lesson focuses on the responsibilities of both the combatant command
and the JTF in the planning and forming of the Joint Task Force organization. The primary joint publication for this lesson
is Joint Pub 3-33, "Joint Task Force Headquarters." 2 hour(s)
APC 08: Lifecycle of the JTF – Deploy and Redeploy AFR-AFDL-010812* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to examine the two movement phases of the lifecycle of the Joint Task Force; deploying and redeploying.
It focuses on the responsibilities of both the combatant command and the JTF during these two phases. It also explores
how the combatant command and JTF execute the deploy and redeploy phases in the lifecycle of the JTF in support of
theater operations. The primary reference publication for this lesson is Joint Pub 3-33, "Joint Task Force Headquarters." 2
hour(s)
APC 09: Lifecycle of the JTF – Employ AFR-AFDL-010912* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to examine the central phase of the lifecycle of the Joint Task Force; employment. It focuses on
the responsibilities of the combatant command and JTF during the employment phase. It also explores how the combatant
command and JTF executes the employment phase of the lifecycle of the JTF to support theater operations. The primary publication
reference for this lesson is Joint pub 3-33, "Joint Task Force Headquarters." 2 hour(s)
APC 10: Lifecycle of the JTF – Transition AFR-AFDL-011012* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to examine what is arguably the most challenging phase of the lifecycle of the Joint Task Force;
transition. It focuses on the responsibilities of both the combatant command and JTF. It also explores how the combatant
command and JTF execute the transition phase of the lifecycle of the JTF in support of theater operations. In the context of
this lesson "transition" refers to the transitional period between employment of a force and its' redeployment. It may be a distinct
phase unto itself, or embedded as an activity within another phase. The primary publication reference is Joint Pub 3-33,
"Joint Task Force Headquarters." 2 hour(s)
APC 11: Situational Awareness - Overview AFR-AFDL-011112* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to provide an overview of situational awareness. It provides both definitions and concepts related
to situational awareness. Situational awareness informs the decision making process; understanding the context of situational
awareness and how it aids the combatant commander in operations planning is key to understanding actions taken in
an operation to gain or achieve the desired objectives. This lesson also serves as a prelude to the follow-on situational awareness
lessons covering organizations, processes, and systems. 1 hour(s)
APC 12: Situational Awareness - Organizations AFR-AFDL-011212* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to examine the staff organizations required for building and maintaining situational awareness
within a Joint Force Command. It addresses two broad categories: elements of the cross-functional staff that contribute to situational
awareness by virtue of how they elevate data and information to the cognitive levels required for situational understanding,
and elements employed within the staff structure with specific information and knowledge management functions.

APC 13: Situational Awareness - Processes AFR-AFDL-011312* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to examine the processes and procedures required for building and maintaining situational
awareness within an organization. It focuses on several critical components of any information or knowledge management
process; establishing an information management process or plan; managing information requirements through CCIR establishment
and maintenance; sequencing product development through the "Battle Rhythm"; and creating a common visual representation
for the command through a Common Operational Picture, or COP. 2 hour(s)
APC 14: Situational Awareness - Systems AFR-AFDL-011412* N,S, IP
The purpose of this course is to examine the systems required for building and maintaining situational awareness within a joint
force. It addresses the larger issues and challenges attendant to creating a system architecture comprehensive enough to
enable basic communication, collaboration and the visual representation of knowledge, thereby supporting an environment
conducive to situational awareness and situational understanding. 1 hour(s)
Applied Radiological Response Techniques (ARRT) Course J3OP-US251 N,S
The purpose of this course is to provide a solid and practical foundation for first responders to address radiological incidents
including all DoD and other federal, state, or local personnel engaged in technical orientation for ARRT. This is a newly developed
course that has not yet been taught in any online format. At the completion of this course, the student will: have a working
technical knowledge of the basic principles of science and radioactivity applied to first responder operations; be able to
apply radiation units of measure to radiation protection and response scenarios; identify the ways in which radiation interacts
with matter; apply skills to use gas-filled and solid state radiation detectors; define regulatory controls concerning radiological
