An advanced civil-military cooperation course was held lately in Rabat by a specialized training team from Allied Joint Force Command Naples to strengthen interoperability with the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces.
In a press release, the JFC Naples, a principal operational-level military command in the NATO Command Structure, said the training showed the importance of having a comprehensive understanding of the civil environment and the role of civil-military cooperation in military planning and operations.
The course focused on NATO’s approach to civil-military cooperation, resilience through civil preparedness, contribution of civil- military cooperation to the operational planning process & to the Joint Targeting Cycle (JTC).
The training was conducted in a structured and interactive manner, combining theoretical input with practical case studies, highlighting
the role of civil-military cooperation in modern operations.
Civil-military cooperation bridges the gap between military forces and civilian actors, fostering interaction, and building an accurate civil environment picture. It supports mission success by protecting civilians, facilitating humanitarian assistance, and enabling commanders to understand the social, cultural, and political dynamics of an area.
The JFC training aligns with NATO’s broader efforts to stabilize regional security through educational partnerships and the sharing of tactical doctrine with non-member nations.
Established in 2004, Joint Force Command Naples is responsible for planning, preparing, and conducting military operations to preserve peace, security, and territorial integrity throughout its area of responsibility, particularly focusing on the southern region.
