Air Force Command and Staff Course is an important international project where instructors and lecturers of the Lithuanian Military Academy are actively assisted by instructors of the Danish Royal Air Force Academy. They teach students theory and practice of operational planning, subtleties and logistics of air asset protection and organisation. Annually they send a Danish instructor to the Latvian Air Force to train and evaluate listeners of similar courses.
