NATO School Oberammergau (NSO), European Air Group (EAG) and Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC) signed a Memorandum Of Agreement in the field of Education and Individual Training (E&IT) by mutually supporting their operations and interests related to Force Protection (FP), with particular focus on NATO approved FP Courses delivered by NSO.
NSO is an accredited NATO Education and Training Facility. Their academic curriculum comprises of more than 110 courses and educates annually over 10.000 students of the NATO Command Structure and NATO Force Structure, NATO member countries and NATO partners.
NATO FP courses taught at NSO are comprised of the P5-40 NATO Force Protection Course and the N3-155 NATO Advanced Force Protection Course (currently on pause). A mutual understanding of NATO FP promotes interoperability in a Joint & Combined environment.
The EAG FP Team will support the NSO’s FP courses with their knowledge and network by teaching on the courses, including syndicate work and being part of the team for future development of the courses. JAPCC serves as the FP courses’ Office of Primary Responsibility and provides an Action Officer whose task is to guard the validity of the Course Control Documents, which encompass the teaching program, and supporting the NSO in finding the relevant NATO subject-matter experts able to teach the topics required by these documents.
