Doctrine Development (DD)
- Develop, write, coordinate, staff for approval to the Aerospace Doctrine Committee and

The Canadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre (CFAWC) is the primary agency for the six operational-level AF function manuals; namely, Command, Sense, Act (with sub-functions Shape and Move), Shield, Sustain and Generate. (For tactical-level doctrine, most development and writing is done by the various air power communities, but CFAWC is the coordination agency and entity that staffs this doctrine to the Aerospace Doctrine Committee for approval.).
