DMO is a component of the Air Force Training Transformation initiative. The DTOC organizes DMO events primarily for Air National Guard and [[Air Force Reserve Command]] (AFRC) [[aviator|pilot]]s, [[combat systems officer]]s, air battle managers, and enlisted aircrew, as well as ground-based tactical air control parties (TACP) and special tactics squadrons (STS). It enables flight crews and ground personnel from throughout the United States and the world to train together in a virtual world for combat missions. The DTOC facilitates training between Air National Guard pilots, flight crews, and other warfighters in the Air Force Reserve, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and other aviation forces.

The National Guard and Reserve Equipment (NG&RE) Report for Fiscal Year 2008, reported that the, "...[[Air National Guard|ANG]] established the first Distributed Warfare Detachment in the Air Force at the [then-][[132nd Fighter Wing]] (132 FW) to house the Distributed Training OperationOperations Center (DTOC). The DTOC’s one-of-a-kind capabilities and mission will grow to keep pace with the scope of Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) in the Air Force over the next four years. As the Guard’s DMO lynchpin, the DTOC will provide the operational environment for a virtual battlespace linking a wide array of high fidelity flight and mission crew simulators. The DTOC is responsible for all network management, event control, scenario development, unit DMO scheduling, remote maintenance, remote instruction, and realistic threat insertion. In addition, the DTOC manages the distributed network called ARCNET. The Mission Training Engineering Center ([[MTEC]]), collocated with the [[Air Force Research Laboratory]] ([[Air Force Research Laboratory|AFRL]]) in Mesa, Arizona, coordinates technology programs with AFRL, and acts as the engineering focal point for the ARC to exploit and transition leading edge technology into hardware or software solutions."

Previously known as ReserveNet when it was limited to AFRC, ReserveNet was renamed the Air Reserve Component Network (ARCNET) in 2009 when ANG units were incorporated into the network.<ref>https://www.afrc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/157976/reservenet-changes-to-arcnet-welcomes-air-national-guard/</ref>
