The importance of a common language in European military exchange programme Division External Relations LtKol SBH DUBOIS Dirk

Agenda Introductory notions The start of the Initiative – Stocktaking – Council Declaration Implementation – Quick Wins – Lines of Development Why a common language? Questions

Introductary notions

History of Military Erasmus 2008 French Presidency – Initial stocktaking – Council Conclusions 2009 – Creation IG – 5 Quick-wins – Lines of Developments – FRONTEX briefing

Assumptions Financial crisis Early entry of young officer in international environment Will perform better if he has been in contact with other nationalities before.

6 Military training institute Scope of the Initiative (1/2) Academic education Basic military training Professional training Military academy/cadet Vocational training Staff and command Training

7 Scope of the Initiative (2/2) Recruit First appointment in operational unit

8 Proposed measures at European level Academic component of initial officer training – Develop training modules on international issues (academic component of officer training). A training module on the ESDP (now CSDP) is available. Training modules should be developed in other areas relating to international security. These training modules will be made available to national military colleges. – Make it easier for national military colleges to access and use the Internet-Based Advanced Distance Learning (IDL) system which is being developed by the European Security and Defence College (ESDC), to enlarge the scope of available teaching material.

9 Proposed measures at European level "Basic military training" and professional components of initial officer training – Develop an equivalence system for the military components of initial officer training. The implementing working party will examine the possibility of using the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) which also covers the academic aspects of initial officer training. – Draw on the Erasmus programme to establish mechanisms to promote officer exchanges.

10 Measures at national level Encourage Member States and their national military training colleges to make full use of the instruments and measures offered by the Bologna process. Encourage national military training colleges to increase the mobility of military students and teaching staff among the Member States. Encourage Member States to recognise the training which their officers have received at establishments in other EU Member States. Encourage the teaching of EU languages, in particular the teaching of a second foreign language, in order to extend the range of potential exchanges.

“The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just”

A common language?

A common language? Descriptors: not scope of this audience Working languages: English and French (both for NATO and EU CSDP) Reality check: – in EU only few countries teach French, (almost) all teach English – Operational language for military = English – Cultural pressure: young people are better in English

A common language? Lessons learned from EC’s Erasmus-programs! – Universities of smaller language groups attract few students – More and more university courses in English – Standards for professors as a consequence! Influence of new media: facebook, twitter,…: international contacts between young people are the standard, often in English

Language standards Even if English is used – Heavily influenced by national languages (e.g. no use of article for Slavic speaking people) Vocabulary Grammar – In some cases difficult to understand without a minimum knowledge of the native tongue of the speaker: danger of misunderstandings!

‘The only thing harder than getting a new idea into the military mind is to get an old one out.‘ (Sir Basil H Lidell Hart)
