Command Post Training II: SICF and FAT

Strasbourg (France), 4th June 2008

Today the participants at Exercise Command Post training II/08 were occupied with the continuation of the SICF training (a learning process in order to operate the French Forces Information and Command System) and the Functional Area Training (FAT - an introduction into to the specific tasks and the work environment of each functional area).

The combination of these two learning processes allows HQ Eurocorps to operate as close as possible to reality. In fact an operation would be conducted in similar conditions and with the same procedures. Therefore the exercise Command Post Training II/08 is a very valuable experience for the participants, on a professional as well as on a personal basis. In case of a deployment most of the personnel would be the same. Then personal contacts made here, prove to be worth a lot and operational readiness is acquired immediately.

The training platform makes it possible for Eurocorps members to systematically improve their professional know-how and to preserve their acquired knowledge, namely: the certification “NATO High Readiness Force (HRF)” and the certification “NATO Response Force (NRF)”.
