Course Outline
AVCCC is a 21-week resident course and takes place in a small group setting. The first half of the course focuses students on core doctrinal foundations including Unified Land Operations, Mission Command, and Leadership Principles. The students then begin a rigorous six weeks of company-level operational planning (TLPs). During the second half of the course, students transition to Brigade/Battalion-level planning and the MDMP process for ground and aviation units. Students then enter Anvil Operations, the capstone exercise which puts students back in “the cockpit” as they plan and execute missions in simulators. Training management and command topics are presented throughout the course to prepare students for command.
