The ICCSS, together with Military University of Technology and Military Institute of Engineer Technology, Poland and with NATO sponsorship have developed NATO Advanced Training Course on Identification and Neutralization of Chemical Improvised Explosive Devices for promoting the higher level of security for societies all over the world. The main goals of the ATC is to enhance awareness on security developments including advanced technologies, methodologies and best practice in preparing the governments and societies to establish much lower level of vulnerability and much higher level of resilience in the case if using Ch-IED.

The course will be held from 26 to 30 May 2014 at the Military Institute of Engineer Technology (WITI), Wrocław, Poland. The ATC on Chem-IED is a first initiative to raise capacity in preparedness and first response to Chem-IED incidents and will have several impacts on security in general.  The outcome of the ATC will be a set of conclusions and recommendations for governments and international organizations to establish a network of experts for further developments of approaches for successful countermeasures against Ch-IED. As post ATC activities the publication of the results, evaluation, conclusions and recommendations of the ATC will be issued as a book.

 

Following the course and in cooperation with the participants and trainers, a specialized international program to mitigate the risks of Ch-IED’s will be developed and proposed. The program will offer sustainable and continued training courses and best practices exchanges to civilian and military first responders, antiterrorist unit members and others, who deal with the threat of Ch-IED. The program will offer the “train-the-trainer” approach for participants who are in a position and ready to share the gained knowledge and expertise in their home country.

 

Training of first responders and other personnel involved in emergency planning on materials and best procedures will constitute a direct action in the area of public security prevention. The proposed program will raise directly security preparedness and response capacity of the respective state services.
