Control and reporting posts (CRP)/ reporting posts (RP), which provide radar control and surveillance within their defined areas of responsibility, normally may be subordinated.

NATO operates ACC Systems in static or deployable CRC's in order to provide Airspace Surveillance, to control Air Force Operations and to meet national and allied military commitments. In NATO Europe a CRC might be subordinated to a Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) and / or to an equivalent national Air Operation Centre.
