BMATT (CZ) In-Country Training Team (ICTT) Deployment - Kosovo 2010

BMATT (CZ) deployed a 4 man ICTT to Ferizaj Training and Doctrine Centre, near Pristina, Kosovo over the period 24 February - 26 March 2010 to conduct a 4 week Junior Commanders Cadre.

The aim was to teach, coach and mentor 30 students selected from the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) in the British approach to Command and Leadership and in the fundamental skills of such.  Peace Support Operations skills were also used as a vehicle for the command and leadership training. This training formed part of the overall programme to develop the KSF towards what is known as 'Full Operating Capability' (FOC). The team was also able to identify potential Instructors amongst the students.

The team was also able to observe and advise on current procedures that were in place at Ferizaj such as efficient armoury routines and robust casualty procedures. Advice was also given on designing and delivering training, disciplinary action on courses and course-reporting methods to assist in merit based promotion.
