Including COVID-19 quarantine time, I spent more then thirty days active duty.

The phrase "support" was further defined as any administrative, logistics, planning, operational, technical, or readiness activity, which provides support to an operation of the Global War on Terrorism.

In my mind, CTC rotations are a readiness activity and covered by the definition of "support".

Looking for some definitive answers (although it is ultimately approved by BN commander, I want some weight to back it up).

No.
Eligibility is based on individual orders stating "in support of OPERATION" one of the following:
NOBLE EAGLE
ENDURING FREEDOM
INHERENT RESOLVE
FREEDOM’S SENTINEL
PACIFIC EAGLE – PHILIPPINES

A CTC rotation is essentially an AT, not an activation or mobilization, and not in direct support of one of the operations listed.
Your time at train up at the mob platform enroute to a deployment in support of any of the above is eligible for a GWOTSM.
