EASF Conducts an Integrated Mission Planning Course

The Eastern Africa Standby Force rolled out an Integrated Mission Planning Course (IMPC) at the Kenya Commercial Bank Leadership Center in Karen, Nairobi on 16th November 2020.

The Guest of Honor during the opening ceremony was Brig. E. M Kinuthia NDC (Ch), PSC(K), Chief of Strategic Plans & Policy accompanied by the EASF Chief of Staff Col. Abdallah Rafick who was representing the Director, Brig. Gen. Getachew Shiferaw Fayisa.

The Integrated Mission Planning Course aims at preparing participants to work in an integrated Mission Headquarters Joint Planning Group (JPG) or an Integrated Mission Planning Team (IMPT) as well as taking up positions in the Integrated Mission Headquarters during operations. It familiarizes participants with the EASF Operational Planning Process (OPP) and provides participants with tools to conduct operational planning, where Military, Civilian, Police and Mission Support Components are integrated in a single Mission Plan.

The course, which comes to a close on 27th November 2020, has drawn a total of 30 trainees from EASF Member States as well as 11 facilitators from the region and beyond. It is fully financed through the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA IV).
