The NATO Command and Control Centre of Excellence (NATO C2COE) builds up applicable knowledge about Command and Control by contributing to all four pillars a COE can support (Concepts Development & Evaluation, Education and Training, Analysis and Lessons Learned, Doctrine and Policies). By doing so, we contribute to 66% of Warfare Development as defined by ACT. Requests for Support originate from ACT, Sponsoring Nations, ACO, and JFCs. We are involved in the Warfighting Capstone Concept, the Joint and some Domain-specific C2 CONOPS, FMN, the revision of AJPs and the JTF HQ handbook.
Currently, we are the Department Head for Operations Planning, Operations assessment and Alternative Analysis (OPOAA) alongside SHAPE J5 as Requirements Authority. We deliver an annual C2 seminar including a review document (2020 on Multi Domain Operations) and hosted several working groups (COTC and FinCon this year). We informally advise the EU parliament on military investments (deployment infrastructure, G5 and internet compartmentation).
Because of our independent status and lean organisation we can develop at an accelerated pace on important C2 topics.
