00Objective
The regional EECCA Ammunition Practitioner aims at assisting states in applying good ammunition safety management practices to all their ammunition stocks and facilities, reducing the potential for explosions in, and diversion from, ammunition storage areas and thereby mitigating the risk to the civil population.
00Program and Method
The Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia Regional Cooperation Programme (EECCA RCP) aims to enhance cooperation within the countries in the region which are affected by landmines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war (ERW).
In particular, the Regional EECCA Ammunition Practitioner will enhance cooperation in the region on the issue of ammunition safety management according to the IATG.
The course duration is 5 days, containing 2 mutually supporting modules: Ammunition Operator (3 days) and Ammunition Manager (2 days) respectively.
Ammunition Operator will introduce participants to the principles of ammunition storage safety and security in accordance with the IATG, now available also in Russian, supported by DDPS.
Ammunition Manager will expand the topic from individual storehouse to an ammunition storage area and set out the must-know about safe and secure management of ammunition stockpiles, and principles of ammunition life cycle management as per the IATG.
The activity will be conducted indoors, via Power Point as the main method of delivery with practical discussion sessions, group exercises, questions and answers techniques for consolidation of key learning points.
