![]() The main focus for NCO DEEP is the development of professional military education at the request of the partner country seeking assistance. ![]() In an effort to support the growing demands for assistance in the development of the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) Corps with regards to its professionalisation and education, DEEP has established an NCO Working Group to meet partners' requests. Relying on voluntary contributions, NATO steers policy and the PfP Consortium leads on academic support facilitating the network of institutions and individual academics and practitioners who contribute through the PfP Consortium's Education Development Working Group. In order to further professionalise the faculty development of military educational institutions, NATO and the PfP Consortium have produced the Faculty Development Curriculum Guide. To support this work, NATO and the Partnership for Peace Consortium of Defense Academies and Security Studies Institutes (PfP Consortium) have produced seven reference curricula on Defence Institution Building, Professional Military Education for Officers, Professional Military Education for Non-Commissioned Officers, Cybersecurity, Counter-Insurgency, Counter-Terrorism, and Building Integrity, as well as reference guidance on Non-Commissioned Officer Corps Professional Development.ĭEEP features specialised engagement on pedagogy to provide institutions and instructors with access to the latest teaching methods and to support their efforts to foster critical thinking in the classroom. The DEEP programme works closely with professional military education institutions to assist in the development of specific curricula on virtually any subject requested by the partner country. The two main components – curriculum development and faculty development – are bolstered by dialogue between institutions in partner and NATO countries as well as peer-to-peer activities and engagements among subject-matter experts.ĭEEP helps partners to modernise and professionalise the organisational structure of professional military education institutions and provides solutions to build quality assurance processes within the system. The Defence Education Enhancement Programme works with partner countries to help identify the needs and gaps of education institutions in the defence and military domain. Currently, DEEP initiatives are ongoing in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Georgia, Iraq (as part of NATO Mission Iraq), Jordan, Kazakhstan, Mauritania, the Republic of Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia and Ukraine.With the support of more than 900 experts from approximately 75 security and defence education institutions in NATO member states and partner countries, DEEP assists host countries to respond to the most pressing requirements for modernisation and reform.Expert advice is offered to the defence sector and its education institutions seeking to become intellectually interoperable with the Alliance.The DEEP programme is demand-driven to meet national needs in support of objectives that are laid out in bilateral partnership cooperation programmes between NATO and individual countries.
