The Air Force’s duty is to manage the military and civil safety in the Dermank’s airspace by watching the airspace. They also manage the marine environment and help in rescue operations at sea, with transportation duties, etc.

The Air Force also finds solutions to tasks internationally, where they assist with transportation aircraft, Fighters, transportation helicopters, and surveillance radars equipment.

Officer Education 

Officer Education contains branch-specific basic officers’ training programs. It aims to develop the best commanders and leaders for either the Danish Army, Navy, or Air Force.

Officer Education contains 3 elements – basic military training, academic military diploma modules (60 ETCS), and service-specific courses. Officer Education offers specialization according to the Army, Navy, and Air Force needs. However, there are two diploma modules that are common for all three branches:

  • Military Operations (branch-specific under the core competency of operations) 10 ECTS
  • The Role of the Defence/Armed Forces in Society (military-political science under the core competency of strategy) 5 ECTS
  • There are 2 ways to enroll in the Officer Education: an external for those that possess a bachelor’s degree from a university or college, and an internal for those who have already served in the armed forces as non-commissioned officers and hold a degree from the academy.
  • As far as the internal route is concerned, it is not just an option for non-commissioned officers, who may want to become officers. It is also a way into the diploma for young people who do not wish to take a bachelor’s or professional bachelor’s degree, but who would like it as an option during their time as non-commissioned officers. A focused career along this path would take about one year longer than the bachelor’s route.

Duration

How long the program lasts varies depending on the 3 branches. Certain programs are shorter, while others are longer depending on the students’ entry qualifications.

Non-commissioned officers with academy profession qualifications would,  for instance, not need to complete the preparatory military training program, and students with a shipmaster’s certificate will complete a shorter preparatory officers’ program in the Navy’s tactical strand than those recruited from the cadre.

The Military Diploma must be verified and is the equivalent of one year of full-time study. In order to provide both branch and service-specific content, The Officer Education offers 9 programs, as seen below:

The Air Force Officer Education

The Air Force Officer Education tutors the cadets in military command and control, in order to be prepared for the military air operations he or she has to lead as an officer. The program includes subjects such as political science, with a particular focus on security and defense policy and modern management principles in theory and practice.

The Air Force Officer Education has four service-specific programs: Air Battle Management, Logistics, Ground Support, and Force Protection, and Pilot.

The pilot program fluctuates in time depending on the type of aircraft. The pilot’s study partakes the diploma modules as their operational service allows, but they must be completed all modules within two years.
