Mission

As enshrined in the CMDR COE Concept (2016), the mission of the CMDR COE is to act as a catalyst for the enhancement of NATO, NATO Nations’ and Partners’ capabilities in crisis management and disaster response operations through collaborative partnerships.

To accomplish the Centre’s mission we provide subject-matter expertise and advice on crisis management and disaster response, and contribute to doctrine development and to concept development and experimentation. The education and training opportunities we provide, including through mobile training teams, encompass both civilian and military experts from senior military and civilian leadership to staff level, as well as units and teams.

In close cooperation with the Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre (JALLC) the CMDR COE serves as a repository for International, National and NATO shared information, analysis and lessons-learned on crisis management and disaster response.
