HQ NRDC-ESP

CCTs Seminar (Bétera-Valencia)

Workshop at the seminar

On June 25 and 26, NATO Rapid Deployment Corps Headquarters (NRDC-ESP HQ) G9 Stability Branch has organized a Workshop (WS) in Bétera Military Base (BMB) (Valencia) with the objective of disseminating the NATO’s Cross Cutting Topics (CCTs) concept among all Functional Areas (FAs) of the HQ, given the importance that CCTs have in the framework of military operations.

Cross-cutting topics (CCTs) are a range of different topics which could affect the mission in a number of ways and according to the NATO doctrine to date the following CCTs have been identified:

-          Protection of Civilians (POC)

-          Children and Armed Conflict (CAAC)

-          Women, Peace and Security (WPS)

-          Cultural Property Protection (CPP)

-          Building Integrity (BI)

It is worthy to mention that this WS has been the first one of this typology held at BMB and has been fully successful in achieving its objectives: next milestone will be the release of the HQ NRDC-ESP CCTs SOI.
