On 20th November 2012, the NATO Defense College (NDC) had the honour of welcoming MajGen Vitalijus Vaik\u0161noras, Commandant of the Baltic Defence College (BALTDEFCOL). <\/p>\n

The aim of the visit was to provide MajGen Vaikšnoras with an overview of the NDC and its mission. Upon arrival, he was warmly received by NDC Commandant LtGen Arne B\u00e5rd Dalhaug<\/a>. The two Commandants were then joined by NDC Dean Dr Daria Daniels Škodnik and senior College staff, for a comprehensive briefing on the NDC\u2019s academic, research and outreach activities. MajGen Vaik\u0161noras reciprocated with a brief presentation on the BALTDEFCOL\u2019s organization, mission and responsibilities.<\/p>\n

Established in 1999, the BALTDEFCOL<\/a> is based in Tartu, Estonia. Its mission is to contribute to the professional development of military officers and civilians, by providing high-quality courses relevant to the needs of joint, interagency and multinational general staffs. Fourteen years after its establishment, it has become an integral part of Baltic military cooperation. The College\u2019s principal courses are: the Joint Command and General Staff Course (General Staff Officers); the Higher Command Studies Course (Leaders of Transformation); and the Civil Servants\u2019 Course (Senior Civil Servants). These are complemented by short, tailored courses, according to the specific requirements of the Baltic states.<\/p>\n
