MET on Border Security, Buenos Aires, Argentina (MASL: P309227), 26-29 August 2019 2. MET on Civil-Military Relations, Santiago, Chile (MASL: P309070), 2-6 September 2019 METs are intended for nations that are interested in developing capabilities to secure their nation from principal threats, while also maintaining an accountable and transparent security sector (military, police, and intelligence agencies). The underlying theme of the courses is the need for military officers and civilian officials to develop habits of cooperation within an interagency decision-making process. Participants will examine designs and plans for transforming their military to maintain competitive advantage utilizing a capabilities-based defense planning Methodology. The importance of developing effective civilian control of military forces is emphasized. The Seminars rely heavily on interaction among participants during classroom exercises. Because of this, ODCs/SAOs are asked to draw participation from the widest possible spectrum of military and civilian officials, as well as civil society sector. Naval Postgraduate School faculty will provide presentations on Regional and Global Security Trends, Civil-Military Relations in a Global Context, the Rule of Law, the Legal Framework, Civil-Military Relations and Executive-Legislative Relations, Strategic Decision Making, Intelligence Transformation, Roles and Missions of the Security Forces, Border Security, Gender and Civil-Military Relations, Media and Strategic Communications, as well as exercises. The courses were coordinated with the U.S. combatant commands and U.S. Embassy country teams through the SCETWG process. The MASL numbers were established by the United States Navy. Approximately 40 international officers and civilian officials will attend each course. The content will be further developed after delivery based on participant feedback for future course iterations.
