This event is designed for Navy and Marine Corps ATC leadership and managers.

equipment capabilities, Navy enlisted classification codes, type commanders 
updates, tower and radar simulation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 
controller accreditation, community wholeness, and manpower metrics. Formal 
course reviews for ATC schools will be conducted.

operational readiness for all Navy and Marine Corps facilities ashore, afloat 
and expeditionary to participate in this event in order to effectively
