Dr Patrick Wouters and Mr Joris Ghesquiere. Day 3 was dedicated to \u201cNATO Partnerships \u2013 A Cooperative Approach to Security\u201d, presented by Mr James Mackey \u2013 who addressed the Course Members remotely \u2013 and Dr Kevin Koehler, former NDC Researcher and NRCC Faculty Advisor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Day 4 centred on \u201cNATO&#8217;s Crisis Management\u201d, with two lectures delivered by Lieutenant-General (Ret.)
