AFSG MISSION

The Air Force Sub Group (AFSG), as a multi-national group of training experts, will support the NATO Training Group by providing a forum to discuss and develop cooperative training arrangements within the NATO Training Group dealing with Air Force requirements. The AFSG is responsible for discussing and developing cooperative training arrangements tailored to Air Force requirements. In addition to the continuing main effort on joint jet pilot training which has been in operation for many years, aircrew human factors and air operational training have broadened the spectrum of the AFSG's activities. Accordingly, work is now organized in the Aircrew Human Factors Working Group.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The AFSG will be responsible to the NATO Training Group through the Chairman, NATO Training Group. The AFSG will identify and recommend suitable projects, present and future, for consolidation of training within the NATO Group through bi-lateral or multi-lateral cooperative training arrangements. These actions should be accomplished without prejudice to bi-lateral or multi-lateral training arrangements already in existence. The AFSG will work in conjunction and close collaboration with the other NATO Training Sub Groups should this become necessary. After each meeting, the AFSG will submit a report to the Chairman, NATO Training Group. These reports will include, as appropriate, recommendations for consideration by the Chairman and the NATO Training Group.
