NATO EOD Staff Officers Training February 2018

The COE started its educational process 2018 with the NATO EOD SOT course. The first iteration lasted from 12 to 23 February 2018 with participation of 13 students (11 from NATO countries and 2 from Finland and Austria).
The course was organized as a blended delivery course. The students successfully attended an ADL prerequisite prior the in-class part of the course.

They also attended a new ADL course, the NATO EOD Doctrine Course, which the COE had developed.
Except the core group of SMEs there were 6  external instructors participating in the course (NC EOD/CBRN Novaky, CIED COE Madrid, JCBRN COE Vyskov, Military Academy Vyskov, Göta Engineers Sweden and an expert from the URC Systems).

Beside the education related to basic proficiency of the EOD Staff Officer in accordance with NATO and EU standards, the appreciated benefit of the course was an international cooperation and effort during all interactive lectures, syndicate works and the final simulation of the EOD support of multinational operations.
