      NATO snage za rano upozoravanje i kontrolu u zraku (NAEW&CF) dom su NATO-ovih 'očiju u nebu', E-3A sustava za upozorenje i kontrolu u zraku (AWACS), koji igra važnu i jedinstvenu ulogu za Savez štiteći zračni prostor saveznika njihovu sposobnost zračnog i pomorskog nadzora. NAEW&CF ima dvije jedinice s operativnim sposobnostima: NATO komponentu E-3A i bivšu komponentu E-3D Kraljevskog ratnog zrakoplovstva (RAF) u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Dodatno, Centar za inženjering sustava misije (MSEC), koji pruža inženjerske usluge za sustave misije zrakoplova E-3A, također je dio tih snaga. Glavni štab NAEW&CF odgovoran je za pružanje smjernica i za vođenje Snaga i nadzire politiku Snaga.

      Sjedište NAEW&CF, MSEC i E-3A komponenti nalazi se u NATO zračnoj bazi Geilenkirchen u Njemačkoj. Komponenta također održava tri operativne baze u Konyi u Turskoj, Aktionu u Grčkoj, Trapani u Italiji i lokaciju za napredno djelovanje u Ørlandu u Norveškoj.

      The NATO Airborne Early Warning & Control Force (NAEW&CF) is home to NATO’s ‘eyes in the sky’, the E-3A Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS), which plays an important and unique role for the Alliance by protecting Allied airspace with their air and maritime surveillance capability. The NAEW&CF has two units with operational capability: The NATO E-3A Component, and the former E-3D Component of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the United Kingdom. Additionally, the Mission Systems Engineering Centre (MSEC), which provides engineering services for the E-3A aircraft mission systems, is also part of the NATO Airborne Early Warning & Control Force. The NAEW&CF Headquarters is responsible for providing direction and guidance to the Force and oversees Force policies.

      The NAEW&CF Headquarters, MSEC, and the E-3A Component are located on NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen in Germany. The Component also maintains three forward-operating bases at Konya in Türkiye, Aktion in Greece, Trapani in Italy, and a forward-operating location at Ørland in Norway.

      Oznaku je osmislilo i izradilo osoblje Komande snaga NAEW-a, a odobrila su ga i tri glavna zapovjednika NATO-a 1980. Prepoznatljiva oznaka sastoji se od NATO zvijezde na srebrnom krilu Zračnih snaga, zlatnog mača te zlatnog i srebrnog trozuba, sve na plavoj pozadini. NATO zvijezda simbolizira multinacionalno osoblje u Komandi. Krilo prikazuje dužnosti avio nadzora, komadiranja i kontrole snaga. Zlatni mač te zlatni i srebrni trozupci predstavljaju (u to vrijeme) tri glavna komandanta NATO-a: Vrhovnu savezničku komandu za Evropu, Glavnu komandu za kanal i Vrhovnu savezničku komandu za Atlantik. Plava pozadina simbolizira nebo, operativni element u kojem služe snage NAEW&C.

      The crest was designed and originated by the NAEW Force Command staff and also authorized by the three Major NATO Commanders in 1980. The distinctive insignia is composed of a NATO star on a silver Air Force wing, a golden sword and a golden and silver trident, all on a blue background. The NATO star symbolizes the multinational personnel in the Command. The wing depicts the Airborne Surveillance and Command and Control duties of the Force. The golden sword and the golden and silver tridents represent the (at that time) three major NATO Commanders: Supreme Allied Command Europe, Commander-in-Chief Channel and Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic. The blue background symbolizes the sky, the operational element in which the NAEW&C Force serves.

     

E-3A COMPONENT   KOMPONENTA E-3A

 

      Izgradnja komponente E-3A započela je u 01. mj 1980. U 10. mj 1980. Komponenta je odlukom Odbora za obrambeno planiranje NATO-a (DPC) dobila status međunarodnog vojnog štaba. Letačke operacije započele su u početkom 1982. nakon isporuke prvog aviona E-3A. Komponenta je službeno aktivirana 28. 06. 1982., a punu operativnu sposobnost postigla je krajem 1988.

      The build-up of the E-3A Component began in January 1980. In October 1980 the Component was granted the status of an international military headquarters by decision of the NATO Defence Planning Committee (DPC). Flying operations began in February 1982 after the delivery of the first E-3A aircraft. The Component was officially activated on 28 June 1982 and achieved full operational capability at the end of 1988.

      E-3A komponenta je jedna od dvije operativne jedinice NATO avio snaga za brzo uzbunjivanje i kontrolu (NATO Airborne Early Warning & Control Force (NAEW&C Force)). Budući su prva multinacionalna letačka jedinica imaju jedinstveno mjesto u vojnoj historiji Alijanse. Misija im je nadzor i borbeeno upravljanje zadažama određenim od strane zapovjednika snaga NAEW&C u ime SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander Europe).

      The E-3A Component is one of the two operational units of the NATO Airborne Early Warning & Control Force (NAEW&C Force). It holds a unique place in military history because it was the first multinational flying unit established by the Alliance. Its mission is to perform all surveillance and battle management tasks ordered by the NAEW&C Force Commander on behalf of the SACEUR.

      Poziciju zapovjednika E-3A komponente drži osoba u činu brigadnog generala i to naizmjenično pripadnik Avijacije SAD-a ili Njemačke. Njihov je zamjenik uvijek pukovnik iz redova nizozemske avijacije. Strukturu E-3A komponente čine tri winga; Operacije, Logistika i Podrška, a tu su i isturene operativne baze te jedna isturena operativna lokacija. Svaki wing (komanda) je pod zapovjedništvom pukovnika iz neke od zemalja uključenih u NAEW&C program.

      The post of E-3A Component Commander in the rank of brigadier general is held alternately by the US Air Force and the German Air Force. The Deputy Commander is always a colonel of the Netherlands Air Force. The structure of the E-3A Component comprises three wings: Operations, Logistics and Base Support, as well as the Forward Operating Bases and one Forward Operating Location. Each wing is headed by a colonel from a specific nation participating in the NAEW&C Force program.

OPERATION DISTINGUISHED GAMES   OPERACIJA "ČASNE IGRE"

 

      Početkom 2004. Vlada Grčke zatražila je pomoć NATO-a u osiguravanju sigurnosti tokom Olimpijskih i Paraolimpijskih igara koje će se održati u Ateni od 02. 08 do 30. 09. Dana 24. 06, Sjevernoatlantsko vijeće ovlastilo je NATO da pruži pomoć, uključujući avion E3A NATO-ovih avio snaga za rano upozoravanje (NAEWF) i pomorsku podršku u okviru Task Force Endeavour.

      Doprinos NAEWF-a bio je pod nazivom Operacija „Časne igre“ (Operation Distinguished Games). Avion iz krila NAEWF-a u Geilenkirchenu u Njemačkoj bio je odgovoran za nadzor prostora oko i iznad Grčke kako bi se omogućilo praćenje zračne slike, identificiranje aviona i pokretanje vojnih aviona za identifikaciju nepoznatih letjelica. E3A su se javili u NATO-ov centar za kombinirane zračne operacije 7 u blizini Larisse, Grčka, gdje je osoblje koordiniralo aktivnosti s grčkim vlastima. Avioni NAEWF-a raspoređeni su 29. 07. na svoju prednju operativnu lokaciju u Aktionu, Grčka. Operacije su započele 02. 08. i nastavile se tokom razdoblja obiju igara, završivši 29. 09.

      In March 2004, the Government of Greece requested NATO assistance in providing security during the Olympic and Paralympic Games to be held in Athens from 2 August to 30 September. On 24 June, the North Atlantic Council authorized NATO to provide assistance, including NATO Airborne Early Warning Force (NAEWF) E3A aircraft, and the maritime support under Task Force Endeavour.

      The NAEWF contribution was under the name Operation DISTINGUISHED GAMES. The aircraft from the NAEWF wing in Geilenkirchen, Germany would be responsible for surveying the airspace around and over Greece to allow a Recognized Air Picture to be developed, identifying aircraft and scrambling military aircraft to identify unknown aircraft. The E3As reported to the NATO Combined Air Operations Center 7 near Larissa, Greece, where staff would coordinate activities with Greek authorities. NAEWF aircraft deployed on 29 July to their forward operating location in Aktion, Greece. Operations began on 2 August and continued through the period of both Games, terminating on 29 September.
