The NATO School, located in Oberammergau, Germany, is a NATO training facility for multinational military education. Since 1953, the NATO School has trained and educated members of alliance and partner nations. Its mission is to conduct education and individual training that support current and developing NATO operations, strategy, policy, doctrine and procedures. This includes cooperation and dialogue with military and civilian personnel from non-NATO nations.

The NATO School provides resident courses of instruction in five main disciplines: intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance; joint operations (JOPS); weapons of mass destruction; policy; and non-commissioned officer policy department (NCOPD). Most courses are one week in duration with many subjects from which to choose.

    LOGEX 10: CAPSTONE

    During the past week of LOGEX 10, I’ve had the distinct honor to serve among and work with some of the best people in the multinational logistics community. I was impressed by the professionalism and competence of our friends in US Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) J7, Allied Command Transformation (ACT) and our NATO Allies and partners. These characteristics truly show during events such as this and I am proud to be associated with the exercise and everyone here.

    LOGEX 10: Building a Bridge to a Secure Future

    Hello again and welcome to the latest update on LOGEX 10. I am currently writing from the historic city of Bucharest, Romania. I noted in previous blogs that we were in the middle of a series of five bilateral workshops that prepare participants for the actual exercise in September. Participants stand in front of the Cercul Militar National (CMN) building during the US-Romania bi-lateral NSE/LOGFAS/RSOM workshop in Bucharest, Romania.

    Six Years Later…EUCOM Supports Professional NATO Chaplaincies

    In November 2008 I became the Deputy Command Chaplain at U.S. European Command at Patch Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. A couple of months ago I participated in a planning meeting for the annual NATO Chaplain Operations Course at the NATO School in Oberammergau, Germany. The meeting included some chaplains who had attended the pilot course held in February 2003, and others who had been students there more recently. Military Chaplains face challenges on the battlefield that go beyond the boundaries of pastoral needs for the troops. We work in multinational environments where synchronization with command religious programs, encounters with Civil Military Operations, and non-governmental organizations are critical to the success in combat. In war or peacekeeping missions, working in a cooperative military chaplaincy environment is a force multiplier for commanders.
