Brunssum, the Netherlands - From 28 May to 01 June a team from JFC Brunssum conducted a Joint Mobile Training Team (JMTT) serial in Uzbekistan, on the subject of Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) Leadership in NATO. 

 

The team, led by Lieutenant Commander Michelle Ward of the headquarters’ Military Partnership Branch, comprised Master Warrant Officer Peter Dunwoody, Senior Chief Petty Officer Jerome Claudon, Sergeant Fabian Boettcher and Sergeant Mike Chan.  The event was held at the Uzbek Armed Forces Training Centre in Tashkent.
Over 4 days a range of briefings were given, primarily focusing on the curriculums of NCO training establishments of Alliance nations, and the personal experiences of international NCOs. 

 

The event was very well received by an audience of training officers who had travelled from the Uzbek NCO Training College, in Samarkand.  Two further training events in Uzbekistan are scheduled to be conducted by JFC Brunssum by the end of 2018.
