A military exercise involving logistic officers from NATO and Partner forces is taking place from 17 to 23 October, in Borovets, Bulgaria.

The aim of Exercise Cooperative Support 2001 is to train forces in operating together from a logistical perspective. This is the seventh in a series of annual exercises organised around logistics. Participants will follow briefings on NATO doctrine with regard to logistical aspects of Peace Support Operations, including maritime, land, air, amphibious and medical components. Representatives from countries participating in NATO's Mediterranean Dialogue have also been invited as observers.
