The primary function of the NetOps and Security Center (NOSC) is indeed focused on network management and tactical planning. This involves overseeing the operational aspects of a network, including monitoring its performance, ensuring stability, and responding to any issues that may arise. NOSC plays a critical role in planning for network operations, ensuring that protocols are in place for operational efficiency and security.

By centralizing network operations, NOSC allows for proactive management and immediate response to incidents, thereby enhancing the overall security posture and reliability of the network. This focus on tactical planning ensures that networking strategies align with current technologies and operational needs, which is essential for maintaining effective network infrastructure.

On the other hand, resource allocation and budgeting, personnel training and development, and database management and security, while important functions in their own rights, do not encapsulate the operational focus and immediate tactical planning that is characteristic of the NOSC's role.
