International rescue and relief operations
A command, control and coordination course on international rescue and
relief operations was held in Skövde, Sweden, 3-14 November.
Over 20 participants from 18 different countries - mainly partner countries
- took part in lectures, working groups and simulation exercises over
these two weeks. They focused on leadership skills, team work, environmental
issues, command components, information management, medical intelligence
and many other points that are directly relevant to international humanitarian
relief or search and rescue operations.
This course was organised by the Swedish Rescue Services Agency within
the 2003 Partnership for Peace programme.
