PKSOI Participates in the 2015 NATO Lessons Learned Conference, Amadora Portugal PKSOI's Mr. David Mosinski participated in the 2015 NATO Lessons Learned Conference held 10-12 November 2015 in Lisbon, Portugal – hosted by NATO’s Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre (JALLC). This session brought together 200 participants from NATO military organizations, governmental organizations, partner nations, and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations (IOs/NGOs). The panels were designed to provide key insights and lessons from NATO operations focused at the strategic and operational levels, as well as updates on programs designed to improve lessons learned practices. Primary topics were: Lessons learned (LL) from past and current operations (OEF, Resolute Support, and Inherent Resolve), LL from NATO exercises, and lessons from crisis management operations (crisis in Ukraine and Ebola response in West Africa). The LL process supports NATO transformation, learning & interacting with non-military entities. This event provided opportunities to engage with NATO and partner nation analysts on projects/studies related to lessons from recent peace & stability operations. The event was mission-critical to the Army, since the Army has been designated as Joint Proponent for Peacekeeping and Stability Operations (P&SO), with PKSOI designated as the Army’s “lead." PKSOI was tasked by JROCM 17213 to leverage the lessons learned process to develop blueprints on stabilization capabilities. To download the complete conference report click here. 7
