How often is certification for the ADSE crews evaluated?

Certification for the ADSE crews is evaluated semiannually to ensure that personnel maintain their proficiency and adherence to operational standards. This timeframe allows for regular assessment and necessary refresher training, ensuring that crews remain competent in their roles and can effectively perform air defense support and air-ground integration tasks. Semiannual evaluations strike a balance between frequent enough oversight to address any potential lapses in skills while also allowing enough time for crews to adhere to continuous training and operational procedures between assessments. This systematic approach to evaluation enhances readiness and operational effectiveness in dynamic and evolving air defense environments.
