Specialised Training Materials - UN Military Staff Officers

Aim

The aim of the Specialised Training Material for Military Staff Officers is to support the pre-deployment training efforts of Troop Contributing Countries by providing UN DPO training standards to ensure a common approach to the work of Military Staff Officers at Force and Sector levels, and within integrated entities, in UN peace operations.

Target audience

This STM targets all military personnel selected by Member States to be deployed as Military Staff Officers in UN peace operations. Military Staff Officers are required to have at least completed their national basic military staff course.

Training Objectives

The training objectives of the STM for Military Staff Officers are to generally prepare the participants for duties in a peacekeeping operation so they can:

  • Contribute efficiently to implement military aspects of UN peacekeeping mandates in accordance with DPO principles and guidelines;
  • Perform their military staff functions in an effective, professional and integrated manner;
  • Demonstrate the core values and competencies of the United Nations; and
  • Apply the knowledge of national military planning process doctrines in a UN environment, using the UN Military Decision-Making Process (UN MDMP)
