The wing staff is the unit that prepares and issues orders for the unit commander’s tasks to directly subordinate units.
The primary responsibilities of the exercise planning and collaboration department (A79) are to plan exercises at the unit level, coordinate and implement parts of C F 16 collaboration at the regional and local levels with actors within total defense.
