About NATO C2COE

The NATO Command and Control Centre of Excellence (NATO C2COE) is a multinational organization designed to permanently focus on specific areas of C2, primarily at the operational level. These three specific areas are C2 processes and structures (including connectivity), Information and knowledge management (IM and KM); and Human factors including leadership.

By concentrating purely on these C2 aspects, the NATO C2COE is unique; no other NATO related organisation focusses exclusively on the overarching joint function C2. It gains its expertise by assessing and evaluating C2 aspects during missions, exercises and experiments.
