The main role of the Centre<br />

of Excellence EOD (EOD<br />

COE) is to promote NATO’s<br />

transformation and operational efforts;<br />

to provide specialist expertise and support<br />

to the benefit of developing tactics,<br />

methods and procedures in disposal of<br />

explosives; to constantly monitor technological<br />

developments; and to improve<br />

relations, interoperability and practical cooperation<br />

with partners, NATO’s command<br />

elements, NATO member states, and international<br />

organizations in the field of EOD<br />

by providing the latest information and<br />

developing capabilities, with the aim of<br />

preparing technologically advanced, interoperable<br />

and well trained EOD experts for<br />

the entire spectrum of NATO operations.<br />

But to achieve this, the first condition was<br />

to build the national EOD capabilities of<br />

the Slovak Armed Forces in the field.<br />

The Centre was festively activated on 2<br />

October 2007 in Nováky. It fulfilled tasks in<br />

the international domain (EOD education<br />

and training and information exchange) and<br />

in the national domain (testing and controlling<br />

quality of stored ammunition and explosives).<br />

On 1 January 2010, EOD COE was<br />

divided into two components: the National<br />

EOD Centre in Nováky and the International<br />

EOD COE in Trenčín.<br />

In May 2010, the Chiefs of the General Staff<br />

from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, France,<br />

Hungary and Romania signed a memorandum<br />

of understanding in Brussels. Poland<br />

became a contributing country. In January<br />

2011, the ACT assessment team confirmed<br />

that the Centre had fulfilled all the accreditation<br />

criteria. Subsequently, the North<br />

Atlantic Council confirmed the status of the<br />

COE EOD in Trenčín as a NATO institution by<br />

certifying the Centre as the first international<br />

military organization in the Slovak Republic.<br />

The Centre was officially inaugurated on 17<br />

May 2011.<br />

Since its inception, the EOD COE actively contributed<br />

to the fulfilment of NATO’s action<br />

plan in the field of C-IED and NATO's Defence<br />

Against Terrorism Programme of Work (DAT<br />

PoW) Members of the Centre are actively<br />

involved in the activities of NATO working<br />

groups, act as guarantors for processing<br />

EOD terminology, they submit proposals<br />

and review Allied publications in the area of<br />

EOD. In May 2011, EOD COE conducted an<br />

initial training of staff officers in the Czech<br />

Republic, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina,<br />

Finland, France, Hungary and Slovakia. In<br />

November 2011, the Centre provided, in<br />

cooperation with France, training for EOD<br />

officers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, dispatching<br />

a mobile training group. This year<br />

the Centre is scheduled to conduct: Initial<br />

EOD Staff Officer Training (IEODSOT); Former<br />

Warsaw Pact Ammunition Course (FWPAC)<br />

EOD<br />

Home-made Explosive Devices (HMEC);<br />

Ammunition Risk EOD Management Course<br />

(AREMC) in line with NATO norms; EOD/IEDD<br />

Seminar.<br />

EOD COE unifies NATO efforts in the field<br />

of explosives disposal and builds a community<br />

with common interests with NATO<br />

HQs and institutions and individual countries,<br />

as well as international governmental<br />

organizations, manufacturing, research<br />

and educational institutions. For this community,<br />

in 2010 the EOD COE for the first<br />

time organized “NATO EOD Demonstrations<br />

and Trials”. The event, supported by the<br />

NATO Future Security Threats Division, the<br />

Ministry of Defence of the Slovak Republic<br />

and the National Armaments Minister, will<br />

be organized again on 18 and 20 September<br />

2012 at EXPO in Trenčín. As part of this, the<br />

NATO-Russia Council will gather to discuss<br />

the ‘Role of EOD in the Environment after<br />

2014’.<br />

The goal of the event is to provide a common<br />

platform to companies, research and<br />

development institutions and NATO organs,<br />

so that they can present their needs and the<br />

latest technological solutions in an effort to<br />

improve EOD capabilities. The programme<br />

will feature a conference, two seminars,<br />

dynamic and static demonstrations of new<br />

robots, instruments, methods and procedures<br />

for detection of ammunition and explosives.<br />

The participation was confirmed<br />

by subject-matter experts, companies and<br />

firms furthering technical and technological<br />

advances in EOD.<br />
