They had to develop some of the elements of the Preliminary Guidance for a NATO Strategic Level Exercise which can be used as a base for future exercises. The previous gained experience and creativity helped the task to be solved on time and with unique deliverables.
The next course for the Training audience of SEESIM 14 exercise will be conducted by the MTT at the end of May 2014.
