As
a result of lessons identified from recent operations, in particular
Operation TELIC (Iraq), the DMOC was established to provide the Tri
-service hub for Media Operations training, education and operational
capability.
At
the centre of this new concept is the formation of a rapidly deployable
Joint Media Operations Team (JMOT) and the creation of a lead training
school responsible for the overall co-ordination, development and
delivery of Media Operations training and education across the Defence
Community.
With
a balance of 41 Staff from the RN, ARMY, RAF and the Civil Service, the
DMOC reports to the Directorate Media Communications (DMC) at the
Ministry of Defence and is in all respects a Tri-service asset.
The
DMOC is at RAF Halton, easily accessible by train to Wendover from
Marylebone or by road along the A41 (via the M40) and A413 (via the M1).
