3 It is my pleasure to introduce the PSOTC Course Catalogue 2012 which is the best proof of the Centre s continuous development. The most visible change is the recent accreditation of three of our courses at NATO Selected level, which undoubtedly confirms the quality and operational relevance of the subjects being taught. These courses are fully developed in line with the NATO System Approach to Training directive and are based upon real operational needs as a result of thorough Training Needs Analysis. Our main effort continues to be the preparation of staff officers for multinational operations, principally with NATO but also with the UN or other organisations. Our continuous dedication to the concept of the Comprehensive Approach has yielded another significant result trough the cooperation with BiH Ministry of Security in the development of a course police man and women designated to serve in PSO missions worldwide. We have also developed stronger and more articulated cooperation with Civil Society Organizations which have become inevitable actors in the security arena. The additional of the Gender Leadership course and the Building Integrity in PSO course, in partnership with US Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), reflect the need to sustain and improve these aspects of today s operations. Since PSOTC is not only a PfP Training and Education centre but also Regional one, our main effort has always been attracting students from within the Western Balkan region. This continues, but our graduates now encompass 27 countries. It is worth emphasizing that we have regular student participation from the South Caucasus and Central Asia and have new intakes from the MD countries of Jordan and Morocco. This is not a one way process and our Mobile Training Team has, during 2011, worked in Albania, Montenegro and Serbia and further afield Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Sweden and Turkey. In general terms, PSOTC keeps realizing different types of Residential Courses, Mobile Training Team s activities as well as a whole array of Other Activities; both at home and abroad. Nevertheless only thirteen of the activities have deserved to find their place in the Catalogue this year. The content of the courses is fully in line with lessons learned and best practices of full spectrum operations (Offensive, defensive and stability ops) in a complex operational environment. An environment where the boundaries between conventional, irregular, terrorist and criminal acts are indistinct. An environment that requires a multinational, joint, cross-governmental and inter-agency solutions where the military are likely to operate among the people rather than around the people. These courses, which include practical exercises, are supported by Subjects Matter Experts from within the Centre and distinguished Academic Partners from BiH and abroad. Lastly, they take place in our state of the art facility which is fully IT integrated and provides the best possible learning environment. Our Accommodation building, gymnasium and rich cultural programme are yet another reason to come to PSOTC and share the real experience of internationality. Looking forward to seeing you in our family, Commandant Kenan Dautovic Brigadier (OF-5, AFBiH) 3
