GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, Germany (Dec. 4, 2014) – About 50 security leaders throughout the world met Dec. 1 to 4 for the fifth annual Program on Terrorism and Security Studies Alumni Community of Interest event at the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Titled The ‘Islamic State: A New Era in Transnational Terrorism, the COI workshop was hosted by the center’s Alumni Program and PTSS staff.

Community of interest workshops are designed to support and engage more than 10,000 Marshall Center alumni, of which more than 1,100 are from the center’s premier PTSS program.
The Marshall Center is a unique German-American partnership with a transnational mission to create a more stable security environment by advancing democratic institutions and relationships, especially in the field of defense, promoting active, peaceful security cooperation, and enhancing enduring partnerships throughout the world.

The Alumni Program provides Marshall Center graduates with an organized, point-of-contact network for news, information and services, as well as to report on the career successes of the center's alumni to stakeholders in Germany and the United States.

The Program on Terrorism and Security Studies addresses numerous aspects of a threat that confronts nations around the globe. The four-week course is designed for government officials, military officers and police administrators currently working in mid- and upper level management positions of counterterrorism organizations throughout the world.

The PTSS course is one of eight resident programs offered by the Marshall Center that examines complex transnational, regional and international security issues.

The other programs are Program on Applied Security Studies, Program on Security Sector Capacity Building, Seminar on Regional Security, Seminar on Transnational Civil Security, Program on Countering Narcotics and illicit Trafficking, Program on Cyber Security Studies and Senior Executive Seminar.
