In particular, we are in charge of:

- Ensuring relations with Special Operations Groups (military VAs) and managing their affiliation with SO-HQ.
- Developing, validating and keeping up to date the tools and documents available on the IVAO France website.
- Organizing SO events and issuing associated NOTAMs.
- Conducting regulatory watch on all new and existing rules published by SO-HQ and applying them within the division.
- Coordinating with neighboring SO departments and the SO-HQ department on events and other operations.
- Monitoring military activity on the network (regular inspection of Webeye and other tools to oversee ongoing SO operations).
