Mobile Courses Overview Mobile International Defense Management Course: MIDMC The Mobile International Defense Management Course (MIDMC) is suitable for professionals concerned with the economic, efficient and effective allocation and use of scarce defense resources in today's complex and uncertain security environment. Participants normally come from a broad spectrum of fields, to include logistics, operations, personnel, acquisition, financial management, program management, planning, engineering, and program evaluation. This course is designed for military officers rank O-4 to O-6 and equivalent civilian officials. DRMI's experienced, world-class graduate faculty integrate analytical concepts, principles, methods, and techniques drawn from the disciplines of management, economics, and quantitative methods, and applies them to decisions involving the allocation of financial, logistic and human resources. Throughout the MIDMC, participants develop skills to recognize and evaluate the risk assessments and tradeoffs that must be made among competing alternatives at both the strategic and operational levels of defense organizations. DRMI faculty teach the course using a stimulating mix of lectures, small group discussions and real world case studies. This approach provides a dynamic learning environment designed to develop the decision making skills necessary in today's challenging environment. Faculty use contemporary issues such as the global war on terror, regional and international instability, infrastructure protection and multinational defense cooperation to illustrate the environment in which current defense resource allocation decisions must be made. This course is one to two weeks long with the curriculum tailored to the needs of each country. By the end of the course, participants will be able to clearly define and evaluate the relationships among national security objectives, defense strategies, program alternatives/capabilities, and their budgetary resource requirements.
