Unit Commanders and Joint Staff Course

As the starting point of the technical preparation needed for the activities related to the deployment of a military contingent in a mission under the aegis of the United Nations Organization, the Course for Unit Commanders and Staff Officers (acronym in Portuguese: EPCOEM), offered for the period of one week at the facilities of the Brazilian Peacekeeping Operations Joint Center (acronym in Portuguese: CCOPAB) aims at enhancing the professional capability of Commanders and Staff Officers of Peacekeeping Military Organizations. In order to make it possible, the course is constituted by a number of instructions which includes topics related to the way the UN develops its work as well as topics which are specific to the mission the contingent will be deployed in.
