CCOE as DH is responsible for executing the so called NATO’s System Approach to Training. This is the core function as a DH. We support SHAPE and ACT in this TRA process. An important guidance on Requirements is the SAGE (Saceur’s Annual Guidance on Education)
A TRA needs to be assessed and we as DH need to match all current solutions (=trainings from COE, NATO and/or other countries or institutions like FINCENT/SWEDINT). If we still lacking a solution for a Requirements we need to develop this. Like a course or even a simple vignette in an existing course.
So we are responsible for CIMIC courses on all levels based on NATO’s ACO Requirements. Not only in the house, also elsewhere were we are allowed to certify courses from “listed” to “approved”.
This constant evaluation process will be translated into a DAP. This will be our (yearly) physical “responsibility report” to ACT and NATO of how we follow and organizes the CIMIC discipline as a DH.
The overall naming for the entire process is “Program of Work”
Revision based on requirements and needs. At the ADC to align with CoI.

4. Collective Training & Exercises
Learning model
-CCOE Reference to Systematic Approach-
100 REMEMBER
200 UNDERSTAND
300 APPLY
EXCEL
500 LEADERSHIP
This is a way to look at training evolvement. Developments to a higher level will be achieved on two different ways; by the content from lessons to PO’s and by the way lessons are given, from classroom to exercise.
The TRA give PO’s as highest to achieve. But the way to it is a blend including training and exercises. (so hard to gain 500 in classroom….)

Last year the focus was based on the 3 main items (Coll Def, Hybrid and Resilience) They still are very valid, but we need to revise our complete landscape. Including these past developments. And for the coming 2 years including the EU development, exercises and capacity building. This is besides the revision, which will have priority and more explained in the next slide.

Revise the scenario used until now. Based on the overall requirements.
Support the Steadfast ex with CIMIC knowledge, input, SME’s (SHAPE Level)
Support existing HQ’s (Ulm, Arcc, GNC, ….) with CIMIC input like tailor made injects based on actual developments

7. The Survey Overview and Outlook All comments received  Thank you!!
Number of Participants: 25 / 52 (48 %)
Emphasize key elements necessary for our revision
Full outcome survey available if wished
To be continued….?

8. 360 Revision of CCOE Courses
Observation / Comments:
Remarks about the scope of the revision. What is the landscape? Is it part of the overall scheduling at CCOE since What’s next?
Only NATO?

9. No clear picture, so what is CCOE doing?
Cycles of reviewing training Solutions
No clear picture, so what is CCOE doing?

10. Experimenting in all our courses  excellent results!
Modelling & Simulation
This (partially) assessment of methodology is based on CCOE’s estimation; it is a novelty and we some how expect that it is an important support to our solutions!
Experimenting in all our courses  excellent results!
Intention to use it in all courses
This solution methodology is also based on needs/requirements

11. CCOE pays many attention to M&S during both CoI and ADC!

M&S methodology
CCOE pays many attention to M&S during both CoI and ADC!

12. Use of Scenarios
As said before with M&S, T&E is looking at the methodology needed. (partly executed by a small TNA)
We have reviewed the recommendations in the survey and it will be incorporated in the revision process of T&E
So starting with the survey, discussing with the CoI these days in Rome….to be continued!

13. Are all topics equally important?
Real World Events in Scenarios
Are all topics equally important?
In a fast changing world, can all main events be addressed properly or do we need to prioritize in order to facilitate up to date and timely training?

14. Operational experience to be added to T &E
Much experienced has been offered from numerous institutions to CCOE: Thank you!
MSPOTC; 1 CMI Command; Bundeswehr C. and Staff College; NFIU; Peace Support Training Centre, CAN; Army Intelligence Centre, Denmark; NFIU Bulgaria; Pax for Peace; JFCB J9; 1 CMI Command; SHAPE J9; CCOMC

15. Exercises as such will receive more focus from CCOE
Specific Exercises for CIMIC Training
Exercises as such will receive more focus from CCOE
Mentioned are: JOCO, Trident series, VIKING series, actually all exrcises CIMIC is included (including cultural oriented exercises…)

16. Summary - Revision Higher Command Course
Q15
The NATO Higher Command Course (NCHCC) has been designed for Senior Military and civilian leadership. In revising the NCHCC, it will be critical to meet the requirements of a fast changing security environment. Please rank these specific training requirements and assess how they can best be taught in your understanding?

In summary:

The Syndicates
Modelling & Simulation
Cross Cutting Topics
Scenario’s and vignettes
NCHCC
Receive introduction in scope and opportunities of the use of Modelling & Simulation in CIMIC training and discuss content, priorities and scheduling of implementation.
Syndicate to gather and discuss specific CCT, real life events and developments which are to be prioritized and incorporated into CIMIC training within a 12 – 24 month implementation horizon.
Participants will discuss and assess the use of available/approved current scenarios with CIMIC content, versus the shorter term use and development of specialized vignettes in the Course landscape to provide a training environment reflecting actual situations.
Validate and update identified requirements of HQs and related structures regarding CMI/CIMIC T&E and the way to effectively implement these findings in the NCHCC within a 12 month timeframe.

27. The syndicate outcomes….
NCHCC:
Will be used as a part (…) of the TNA revision for the course
To be continued
Reflected in DAP 18
M&S and Scenarios
Will be used as a methodology to “align” our solutions
CCT/Real life events:
Can be seen as part of the “Requirements”
Needs to be incorporated in revision
All outcomes will be reviewed and assessed.
We need feedback!
CCOE T&E is aiming for a continuous alignment with actualities and current demands. This ADC will hopefully give input to the question “How” to organize and structure this.
