Course Members explored into these institutions\u2019 respective structures, policies and activities in order to understand how they relate to NATO and the changing global and regional security environment. The issues presented to MSC 138-4 &#038; the ICI aim to build better knowledge and understanding of these organizations and their enduring dynamics. This is the second MSC to be organized in collaboration with the Regional Center in Kuwait City, and was virtually facilitated by an NDC Faculty Adviser. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The NDC\u2019s Commandant, LGEN Olivier Rittimann, extended words of welcome to Course Members and introduced the Course objective.
