Operate Command and Control (C2) systems to assist command and staff exercise Operation Control (OPCON) over assigned forces based on their Designed Operational Capability (DOC) Statements and Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS).

According to an August 1995 USAF Occupation Survey of the Control and Control (AFSC 1C3X1) career

ladder - http://1.usa.gov/1NxRi7U, overall job satisfaction responses were lower than those previously surveyed in the Command and Control career ladder in 1987, and comparatively lower than a sample of similar Air Force personnel surveyed in 1994.

According to an Inspector General (IG) Report dated 15 March 1996 - http://bit.ly/1MXp6LR, SORTS was identified as ineffective in accomplishing its highest priorities—supporting crisis response and deliberate planning. As a result, the NCA, CJCS, and Commanders of Unified Commands couldn't rely on SORTS to plan deployments, determine authoritative unit status or location; assess execution of Operations Plans; or make effective, time-sensitive decisions. And commissioned officers were eliminated from the command and control career field this same year.
