WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Mr. Victor Minella, performing the duties of undersecretary of the Navy, engaged with officers from the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School's (NAVSCIATTS) Strategic Leaders International Course (SLIC) during their recent trip to Washington, D.C.
This enriching experience delved into the better understanding of vital topics such as civilian control of the military, the rule of law, and the core principles of democracy, as the 18 foreign security force professionals participated in sessions at the U.S. Department of State, primary staff from Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee Sen. Roger Wicker's office, Business Executives for National Security, and various sessions on innovation at Building Momentum.
SLIC is a five-week in-resident course designed to build partner capacity by offering senior military leaders (05-07 level) and senior government officials of partner nations new perspectives, methodologies, and opportunities for thinking strategically and for designing strategies that successfully address complex challenges. Officers participating in the current iteration represent Albania, Benin, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cape Verde, Croatia, Cyprus, Ecuador, Ghana, Jordan, Mauritius, Mongolia, Mozambique, Nigeria, Oman, the Philippines, and Thailand.
NAVSCIATTS is an international training center operating under U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command in support of geographic combatant commanders' theater security cooperation priorities. To date, more than 14,000 international military students from approximately 130 partner nations have trained with this historic command. (U.S. Navy photo by Angela K. Fry)
