“This has been an excellent opportunity to highlight the relevance of COEs that are available to NATO and Partners…,” said Commander Chris Hache, ACT [NATO’s Allied Command Transformation in Norfolk, Virginia] Staff Officer, COE Coordinator for Concept Development. “COEs also provide opportunities for contributing partners where capabilities and skills can be exchanged under the umbrella of defence capacity building.”
There are currently 28 COEs located in Europe and North America with a further 2 under development – the Space COE located in France and the Climate Change and Security COE (CCASCOE) in Canada.
