task

In addition to the troop service management at division level , the Air Force Training Command was responsible as a specialist command for general military and military-specific individual training in the Air Force and for the Air Force. (This task was performed by the Personnel, Training and Reservist Affairs Department in the Air Force Office until the Air Force Training Command was reorganized.)

In this capacity, the Air Force Training Command was also subordinate to training parts of the Air Force in other branches of the armed forces, for example at the infantry school or the air landing and air transport school of the army. The responsibility also extends to training institutions abroad. Subordinate to the Air Force Training Command, various units were led:

• German Air Force Command USA / Canada (DtLwKdo USA / CAN) in Fort Bliss ( El Paso ), USA;
  • 2. German Air Force Training Squadron in Pensacola (Florida) , USA;
