PfP Partnership for Peace

Communication is considered to be a time sensitive and very important leadership instrument. Early integration of communication management into the situation analysis may significantly enhance the success of a military operation.

Communicative considerations should therefore be incorporated into the decision-making process at an early stage. For this reason, professional and comprehensive communication training is highly rated in both military and civilian leaders training.
 

The Centre for Management, Information and Communication Training in the Swiss Armed Forces (MICA) organises high level courses on information, communication and media. Thereby it enhances the ability of members of the Armed Forces to communicate efficiently and competently.
