Cooperation with other training centres

The Training Centre SWISSINT cooperates closely with training centres in the Netherlands, in Germany and Austria under the term Fo(u)r-Peace Central Europe (4-PCE). The focus of 4-PCE is on sharing experiences and exchanging operationally experienced instructors to lead courses and ensure training remains up to date. This cooperation is particularly evident in the military observer course, where the joint ‹Blue Flag› exercise in the Lake Constance area marks the end of the international training programme. All partner nations contribute to this cross-border exercise that is carried out in Baden-Württemberg, Voralberg and Appenzell, and is designed to simulate a UN observer mission.
