EUTM Somalia - Europa

NCO Basic Training Module
The objective of this module is to train the selected Somali
trainees for NCO Basic Training in order to identify those
individuals who will be selected to complete Junior Officer
Training and other specialised training modules.
Trainees on this module are exposed to;
- Individual Combat Skills (map reading/navigation
skills, communications skills, battlefield first aid)
- Tactical skills
- Weapon Training
- Leadership (morale, discipline, comradeship, values
and standards, military law)
- Civilian law (Somali Transitional Federal Government, armed forces structure, law of armed conflict,
human rights, gender issues)
- Physical Development (marches, combat assault training, health training)
This significant module is conducted by the Finnish, Irish, Maltese, Belgian, Hungarian, German and
Swedish teams.
Infantry Section Leader Module
The objective of this module is to train selected Somali
trainees as Section Leaders within an Infantry Platoon to
prepare them for subsequent deployment on operations in
Somalia.
The program for this module develops those skills learned in
the Basic NCO Module and aims to expand the knowledge
and understanding of Section Tactics, Techniques and
Procedures, as well as introducing new equipment when the
Section Leaders are deemed ready.
The focus is on Command and Control (Section level),
Combat Patrol Techniques and Section Weapon Skills.
This module is also conducted by the Finnish, Irish, Maltese,
Belgian, Hungarian, German and Swedish teams.
Train the Trainers Module
This is the newest module to have been added to the EUTM Somalia syllabus during Mandate 2. The
objective of this module is to equip selected Somali NCOs with the instructional ability required to
accomplish their own training interventions when deployed back to Somalia. In what is a rigorous and
testing module, the trainees are taught all of the lessons and skills involved in instructing soldiers in
training. Over time and throughout repeated practice their confidence in this field improves significantly,
so much so that our European trainers can feel fully confident that the level of military instruction that
they will impart in Somalia will be of the required quality. This key transfer of expertise will undoubtedly
prove to be of significant importance to the development of NSF training capabilities at Al Jazeera Camp
in Mogadishu in the coming years.
This module is conducted by the French team.
