Civil-Military Affairs Course ended

On Thursday, the Civil Servants Course with selected officers from the Joint Command and General Staff Course completed the first Civil-Military Affairs Course hosted by the Baltic Defence College and organised by King’s College London’s Centre for Military Education and Outreach.

The course concluded with the students applying the knowledge they had gained from lectures delivered by British and Lithuanian practitioners and United Kingdom Defence Academy professors about civil-military affairs in two case studies. The students analysed the Vietnam War and the Iraq Conflict with a focus on the lessons that can be learned from those conflicts to improve civil-military relations in future conflicts and presented their findings to His Excellency Chris Holtby OBE and Major General Vitalijus Vaikšnoras. The Baltic Defence College hopes that such courses will become a regular event in the future.
