The DMOC is the UK military's centre for all media training.

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 47 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 has recently moved to its new home at RAF Halton, consolidating from two previous sites at RAF Uxbridge and DSL Beaconsfield. It is easily accessible by train to Wendover from Marylebone or by road along the A41 and A413, both close to the M1 and M40.
