COESPU TRAINING

“Training Building in Crowd Control and Public Order Management”

Course for Turkish Gendarmerie Officers (TB TURK)

January 8 - 18, 2019
The “Training Building in Crowd Control and Public Order Management”
Course (TB TURK), in English language, was specifically tailored for 8 Turkish
Gendarmerie Officers, very carefully selected for the attendance of this spe-
cific training. The special activity took place as a continuation and final pha-
se of a EU Twinning Project whose goal was to “Strengthen the Institutional
Capacity of Gendarmerie General Command regarding Public Order Ma-
nagement and Crowd
Control”. The EU
Twinning Project is an European Union tool for Institu-
tional Cooperation, in this case between the Turkish Ja-
ndarma and the Carabinieri. The two-week training pe-
riod in Vicenza was aimed at finalizing and refining the
professional skillset of the Turkish personnel attending
the course, as a natural prosecution of the training acti-
vities carried out over the last two years on the above
mentioned topics.
Among the study subjects and disciplines, particular im-
portance was given to Firearms, Self Defence, Tactical
Medicine and Police Technique & Tactics.

12th “Asymmetric Threat” Course (AT12)

January 14 - 25, 2019
Following the planning of the Cara-
binieri General Headquarters for the
Academic Year 2018-2019, the 12th
“Asymmetric Threat” Course (AT12),
in English language, was successful-
ly attended by 21 students coming
from Burkina Faso, Italy, Macedo-
nia, Mauritania, Ukraine and U.S.A.
The 2-week training activity was me-
ant to provide the attendees with a
comprehensive overview on the most
challenging menaces to global secu-
rity, and to extensively enhance their
knowledge about modern, transna-
tional and complex threats against
peace and stability, the so called
“Asymmetric Threats”. Combining military and police assets to collaborate in multiple ways on the field, is
strictly necessary to master the most advanced doctrines and tactics in order to counteract the Asymmetric
Threats, which are increasingly becoming more and more complex and diverse, involving nation-states and
non-state actors, conventional and unconventional tactics, and a wide variety of strategies and weapons.
