The NATO School has successfully conducted the first International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) Pre Deployment Course from 18 - 22 September 2006. Fifty students from 20 nations attended the course. The course attracted junior officers, senior officers, and civilians. The aim of this course is to provide common knowledge and understanding of the ISAF mission to personnel dealing with PRTs and to harmonize structures within the NATO chain of command. Thus it is designed to prepare future NATO/ISAF personnel for their forthcoming deployments to Afghanistan.
This pilot course was run by experts from Joint Forces Command Brunssum as well as from Head Quarters ISAF. Subject matter experts from NATO Head Quarters, Allied Command Transformation, ISAF, JFC Brunssum, Allied Land Component Command, Allied Air Component Command, United Nations Assistance Mission Agency, and Combined Allied Forces Command contributed to this course with lectures and panel discussions.
