The CoESPU trainees will become the nucleus of gendarme-like
peacekeeping forces in their respective countries. As part of this
project, CoESPU will also serve as a center for developing doctrine
and common operational procedures for the employment of gendarme or
Carabinieri-like forces in PSO.
According to the, G8 Action Plan, the Center will:
-
operate training programs,
including 'train the trainer' courses and pre-deployment training
for specific missions;
-
build on and develop further
existing doctrine, specifically with regard to crowd control,
combating organized crime, high risk arrests, and prison security,
protection of sensitive targets, election security, VIP security
and border control;
-
provide interoperability training
with the relevant military forces, civilian institutions and other
deployed police components involved in the PSO;
-
provide for a site testing system
to verify the achieved capabilities of the nations of trained
personnel;
-
conduct assessment of lessons
learned/after-action reviews to incorporate into future training;
-
coordinate potential equipment
requirements for deployments to international operations, in
accordance with CoESPU training;
-
interact with international and
regional organizations such as the UN, NATO, OSCE, the EU, the AU,
ECOWAS; academic and research institutions (such as the UN Staff
College, George Marshall Center, Sant'Anna Institute University,
