The CoESPU, in Vicenza, worked out and housed the "EUPFT 2009"
exercitation. It has been developed in three sessions beginning
from the 14th of September 2009.
The exercise, very specific by itself being the only registered
case of integrated training, has allowed a deep knowledge and
mutual understanding among the different tactics, capabilities and
specific qualities belonging to the several European Police Forces
that have been involved.
After a pre-training of seven days, the exercitation consisted,
during the whole second week, in a complete role-playing game, full
of concrete interventions with CRC capabilities effort, simulated
investigations, as well as counter organized crime actions,
forensic procedures and high risk arrest procedures with hostage
liberation.
The participants were 639, belonging to 24 different Police Forces
of 19 European Countries.
The European Union CIVICOM representatives have expressed great
satisfaction and judged the exercitation very fruitful; they have
been presented the activities the last 15th of October, together
with the delegated of the European Commission, members of the
Italian Ministry of Foreign Affair and others military
authorities.
Paramount activities have been developed and conducted the 5th of
November, where in Longare (Vicenza) the Chief of several European
Police Forces have been welcomed by LT General Stefano Orlando,
Carabinieri Deputy Commander, to the last phase of the EUPFT
2009.
At the end, the 6th of November, the graduation ceremony took place
at CoESPU, where has been highlighted the manifold training
performance developed through the exercitation; the integrated
Police capabilities trained in every phase of the EUPFT 2009 as
well the commitment of the trainees.
The final lessons learned about criticities pertain to
the:
- working language;
- radio communication network, it should be provided at national
level for the lesser units and in a common working mission language
for the staff and main units;
- coordination between specialized elements and
FPU/IPU.
On the whole the activities has required a great logistical
effort. |
