NATO Training Group - Task Group on Individual Training and Education Developments (NTG TG IT&ED) at NATO M&S CoE
Rome, Italy. The NATO M&S COE, a hub for modelling and simulation within NATO, presented its organization and capabilities to the NATO Training Group – Task Group on Individual Training and Education Developments (NTG TG IT&ED). On 14 February, the Centre met with 35 members of the NATO Training Group and highlighted the current and future projects in support of the NATO Alliance. Some of the projects shown included the Centre’s Wargame Interactive Scenario Digital Overlay Model (WISDOM) and our work on the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum Operations layer for simulations. The visit also showcased the Centre’s facilities and our ability to provide both on site and distributed support.
Mr Paul Thurkettle, the programme manager of NATO’s eLearning program, expressed the gratitude of the NATO Training Group for the informative visit and their appreciation of the work being done by the Centre to support the Alliance. The aim of the NTG is “to enhance professionalism, interoperability and standardization among Alliance and partner forces through improved co-ordination of Education, Training, Exercise and Evaluation, with particular emphasis on supporting operations” (MC 238/5).
Col. Francesco PACILLO, the NATO M&S COE Director, welcomed the visitors and stated, “Your visit represents evidence of an active interest of individual training in the modelling and simulation community. Together our efforts can increase the effectiveness of the Alliance through understanding, training, and collaboration.”

The NATO Modelling & Simulation Centre of Excellence is dedicated to the promotion of Modelling & Simulation in support of operational requirements, training and interoperability. The Centre act as a catalyst for transformation through the involvement of NATO, governments, academia, industry, operational and training entities, by improving the networking of NATO and nationally owned Modelling & Simulation systems, the cooperation between Nations and organizations through the sharing of Modelling & Simulation information and developments and serving as an international source of expertise for transformation in the related domain. https://www.mscoe.org
NATO Centres of Excellence are nationally or multi-nationally funded institutions accredited by NATO. They train and educate leaders and specialists from NATO member and partner countries, assist in doctrine development, identify lessons learned, improve interoperability and capabilities, and test and validate concepts through experimentation. They offer recognized expertise and experience that is of benefit to the Alliance and support the transformation of NATO, while avoiding the duplication of assets, resources and capabilities already present within the NATO command structure. Although not part of the NATO command structure, they are part of a wider framework supporting NATO Command Arrangements. [source https://www.act.nato.int/centres-of-excellence]
