Royal Observer Corps (ROC)
|
The Royal Observer Corps (ROC) was a civil defence organisation intended for the visual detection, identification, tracking and reporting of aircraft over Great Britain. It was active between 1925 to 1996, composed mainly of civilian spare-time volunteers. They were trained and administered by a small cadre of professional full-time officers under the command of the Commandant Royal Observer Corps. During the Cold War, the ROC gained the role of defending against the effects of nuclear weapons. The ROC would provide primary data on the position and magnitude of atomic weapons detonated during any nuclear attack for the UKWMO (United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation), who would provide both civil and military authorities with essential information on the attacks.
