Aim

Training Objective

The role, task and whole matrix of peacekeeping are becoming multi- dimensional.  More so every UN mission is unique and has little similarity.  Therefore education of peacekeepers should be more of general purpose training, which makes them prepare to work wherever the UN blue flag is flying. To meet this requirement, BIPSOT runs two Contingent Members Course (CMC) in a year of four weeks duration for selected officers likely to be deployed for UN tasks.  This training is not specific to a particular mission but general training to develop skills as a contingent member.

The aim of this course is to prepare officers to work as member of military contingent in Peace Support Operations.

Upon completion of the course officers should be able to :

Organize security and logistic of their contingents.
