The course received initial joint certification in February last year, which enabled graduates to release reports to the intelligence community across the global joint environment.

It has been specially designed to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to the US Navy intelligence officers and enlisted intelligence specialists in the paygrades of E4-O4 to allow them to carry out the FORMICA process at the journeyman level under minimum supervision and in accordance with appropriate technical manuals.

IWTC Virginia Beach forms part of the Centre for Information Warfare Training, which offers a programme of training for US Navy and joint service personnel that is intended to prepare them to carry out IW across the complete spectrum of military operations.
