The Senior Course (SC) consists of 23 weeks of strategic studies on security policy and international relations to prepare high level military officers, diplomats and government officials for future, multinational assignments. The academic programme includes two academic excursions (field studies) to capitals and cities of major political and\/or military importance. The spring field study covered the Transatlantic link; and this summer field study covers the European perspectives by visiting: Cairo, Vilnius, Moscow, Warsaw, Budapest, Berlin, London and Zagreb.<\/p>\n

NDC SC 114 visited Cairo, Arab Republic of Egypt, 9 -11 June. This is the first field study trip to Egypt and marks the beginning of a new era in the relationship between the region and NDC.<\/p>\n

During the visit the Commandant and a small NDC group were privileged to be received by the Egyptian Forces Chief of Staff (CoS) \u2013 Lieutenant General Sami Hafes Enan. The meeting was upbeat, very cordial and business like, and gave the Commandant the opportunity to stress the historic importance of the NDC\u2019s first visit to Egypt. The Commandant thanked Lt Gen Enan for his strong support for the NDC and its various courses \u2013 emphasising in particular, the NRCC and the NDC Middle East Faculty. Lt Gen Enan responded by declaring his respect and support for the work of the NDC and its Middle East outreach, and praised the open and objective ethos within the College. The General\u2019s personal enthusiasm for the NDC was clearly evident. The meeting ended on a note of mutual commitment to further develop relations between Egypt and the NDC and was an extremely successful event within the programme.\n<\/p>\n
