THE NATO HUMINT CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE AS DEPARTMENT HEAD FOR HUMAN INTELLIGENCE EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN NATO

Summary/Abstract: NATO recognizes the NATO HUMINT Centre of Excellence (HCOE) as a mature organization, with a remarkable contribution to the overall development of the Human Intelligence capability within the Alliance. Another step toward improving the HCOE performance in this field has been recently accomplished; in the 2nd of September 2015, during a ceremony organized at the Headquarters Supreme Allied Command Transformation (HQ SACT), in Norfolk, Virginia, The United States of America, the HCOE officially became “Department Head for Human Intelligence Education and Training” in NATO. According to the Memorandum of Agreement signed during the event, the HCOE is responsible for matching the ACT requirements with E&T solutions, and liable for the coordination of those solutions. The importance of this status, subsequent challenges and ways to follow are further debated in this paper.1
