MARSEC COE conducted the Initial Planning Conference (IPC) for its signature Maritime Security Exercise series, EXER MARSEC-25, on 08-09 October 2024, online and at its premises in Istanbul.
The event gathered 19 participants representing NATO, Allies, Partners, regional initiatives, NATO-accredited Centres of Excellence, academia, and industry.
The participants were invited to share their opinions on the EXER MARSEC-25 and the Initial Draft Exercise Plan (EXPLAN), participation and training requirements, Scenario development, the composition and tasks of the Core Planning Team (CPT), and the way ahead.
EXER MARSEC-25 explores ways to increase collaborative interactions and information sharing in the wider Singapore and Malacca Straits region to address maritime security threats and challenges efficiently. The Exercise integrates interagency cooperation, civil-military interaction (CMI) and multi-domain operations (MDO) themes, includes training consultation, command and control (C3) processes, allows concept and procedural experimentation, and helps develop and test creative approaches for maritime security.
The Exercise invites the participation of focus area Nations, NATO Allies, Partners, relevant International Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations, academia, and private industries, and is especially relevant for staff in operational-level Maritime Operations Centres (MOCs), ongoing Maritime Security Operations (MSOs) and similar centres or initiatives.
