• It is not a network

It is a Philosophy !

Force ProtectionForce Protection

• Is the maintenance of the security and health of all military personnel, a priority in military operations. Force protection standards are established by the force commander. They apply to all military personnel and include such measures as wearing protective gear, restricting movement in specific areas, requiring all travel in pairs and/or with two vehicles, and maintaining specific weapons requirements.

Information Sharing NetworksInformation Sharing Networks

• Examples are the CENTRIXS, the GRIFFIN (Globally Reaching Interactive Fully Functional Information Network), the CFBL (Combined Federated Battle Lab), and other MNIS network programs, as well as related cross-domain security programs associated with the sharing of information with foreign nations and forces, as an integrated MNIS solution to support the combined warfighting environment.

CIMICCIMIC

• (Civil Military Cooperation Center) is the NATO term for a coordination mechanism between civilian and military entities, often a center that serves as a liaison between humanitarian, international, and local entities and the military.

CONCLUSO IL TERZO CORSO COMBAT AERO-MED PRESSO IL 17° STORMO INCURSORI DELL’AERONAUTICA MILITARE

Medici ed infermieri dell’Aeronautica Militare, Corpo Militare della Croce Rossa Italiana e Sovrano Militare Ordine di Malta per la prima volta insieme

“Il corso è stato organizzato dal CSA ed ha coinvolto il 17° Stormo nelle sue componenti operative e logistiche, il 15° Stormo di Pratica di Mare (Roma) per le

attività di volo, il Quartier Generale del CSA per le attività di 'Force Protection' e per la sperimentazione del sistema Common Live Intercommunication Bridges (CO.L.I.BRI) ed il Centro Addestramento Sanitario Professionale (CASP) del Comando Logistico

per le attività didattiche.”
