The NATO Comprehensive Operations Planning Course (COPC) was successfully conducted at the Baltic Defence College (BALTDEFCOL) from 11 to 22 November, marking a significant milestone—COPC received the NATO ACT Course Certification. 

The COPC is in high demand, and the BALTDEFCOL is incredibly happy that it can meet this demand. This certification brings BALTDEFCOL among the best NATO Education and Training Facilities to provide credible and certified military planners preparation for Alliance 32 nations. We thank NATO C2COE and SHAPE for smooth and productive cooperation.

This year's COPC program attracted 29 participants from nine nations, demonstrating the international cooperation and commitment at the core of NATO and its Partnership for Peace (PfP) framework. Today, a graduation ceremony was held to honour the achievements of the course participants and the BALTDEFCOL family, who were celebrating their completion of this rigorous and prestigious program.
