Course Description

Although distinct nations are responsible for their pre-deployment training continuum, it is vital that staff officers and NCOs in tactical units are trained in the NATO approach to conducting peace support operations (PSO). Given the multinational and joint character of PSO, coherence, and interoperability between nations contributing troops to PSO have to be enhanced. Therefore, education and pre-deployment training of all military personnel on NATO doctrines, standards, and procedures for conducting PSO are imperatives for all nations contributing personnel to NATO-led PSO.
