KIRKUK, Iraq -- The Regional Training Center in Kirkuk marked the conclusion of its first Battle Staff “Train-the-Trainer” course with a Sept. 30 graduation ceremony for 26 students.
This six-day officers’ course is offered to majors and below, and instruction includes: the military decision making process, staff duties, intelligence preparation of the battlefield and map reading.
“You are the experts in planning; you are the real professionals,” Italian Army Maj. Gen. Claudio Angelelli, deputy commander of the NATO Training Mission-Iraq told the graduates during the ceremony. “Your work is vital to successful operations and key in ensuring the long-term security of Iraq.”
Graduates of this course will return to their commands capable of sharing the training they received with other officers in their units.
“You are the battle staff personnel who will lead your military for the next 10 or 15 years,” said Staff Brig. Gen. Abdullah Hassan Mohammed, commander of the Regional Training Center. “The power to develop military capabilities to meet the demands of the future lies in your hands.”
NTM-I plans to extend the length of the course to three weeks to add operations, site exploitation and other topics into the curriculum.
