P The Navad advisor provides expertise to COMNRDC-ITA and his staff, through Deputy

E wledge. tions and exercises. Its planning horizon is nor -
L mally 72 to 96 hours for Corps level operations while its focus is likely to extend to the whole cam -
B paign in the wider context of a Land Component headquarters. The branch also provides operatio -
A nal analysis (OA) support to the command group, multidisciplinary groups and branches. The
Y branch is headed by an Assistant Chief of Staff (ACOS) and comprises three operational plan - ning teams, an operational analysis cell and a O coordination cell. Collectively, at full manning, the
L branch has the capacity to operate 24/7 (less OA) with only limited capacity to work on more
P than one OPLAN concurrently.
E G L E The Ground Liaison Element (GLE) represents COMNRDC-ITA at either the Air Component
D Command (ACC) HQ and/or the Air Operation Centre (AOC) at Combined Air Operation Centre
D (CAOC) level during a time of crisis and on ope - rations/exercises. Liaison with ACC/(C) AOC is I granted by GLE, who facilitates ACC/(C)AOC ground picture comprehension. The mission of P GLE is to clearly articulate COMNRDC-ITA’s intent and scheme of maneuver to the Air A Component/Air Operation Centre. In parallel, GLE must ensure that NRDC-ITA’s requirements for
R Air support, are accurately reflected in the Air Component’s plans; thereby facilitating Air/Land co-ordination. In addition GLE monitors and eva -
O luates land forces’ situation and development in order to advise and inform ACC/(C) AOC. When NRDC-ITA is employed as Corps HQ under T a LCC, GLE will be detached to (C) AOC only; on the other hand, in case of employment as LCC,
A NRDC-ITA will detach GLE, splitting it in two ele - ments, to ACC HQ and (C) AOC. N
