Welcome to the Command & Control Centre of Excellence.

To promote transformation within the Alliance, Nations have agreed to take advantage of national and multinational Centers of Excellence (COEs). The COEs are open for participation by all NATO member states, are nationally or multi-nationally managed and funded, and can be offered to NATO. The maturing network of COEs, that will support the NATO Command Arrangements, will be coordinated by HQ SACT.
COEs provide opportunities for NATO and PfP nations to improve interoperability and capabilities, test and develop doctrine, and validate concepts through experimentation.

The Netherlands has offered the Command and Control Center of Excellence (C2 COE). The mission of the C2 COE is:

“To support SACT in his efforts to transform NATO by providing subject matter expertise on all aspects of the Command and Control process”

To achieve its mission, the C2 COE will become a national and international main source of expertise for transformation in the domain of C2 by networking with Sponsoring Nations, ACT and ACO and other international institutions / organizations.

The working definition for C2 used by the C2 COE is:

The exercise of authority and direction by a properly designated commander over assigned and attached forces, performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities and procedures in the accomplishment of the mission

The C2 COE core products are knowledge and shared information.
These products will be disseminated through:

  • Studies, concepts and publications, in order to improve international understanding of effective C2 in joint and combined operations

  • C2 and NNEC related courses, symposia and workshops

  • C2 Assessment reports

  • Proposals and new perspectives for transformation in the field of C2
