CNAD EXHIBITION 2006 NATO HQ BRUSSELS, BELGIUM 26-27 APRIL 2006 TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT TO PRT’S (P ROVINCIAL R ECONST RUCT IO N T EAMS ) DIO 0406-06 U T S S APHIC GR NATO NATO 5th CNAD Exhibition “TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT TO PRT’S” Foreword by the Chairman, Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD) We find ourselves in an extremely complex international security environment. The political realities of our time, driven by regional instability, the threat of terrorism, and failing states, have given new emphasis to stabilization and reconstruction operations. NATO, and NATO nations, have found it necessary to adjust traditional military methods of action by including new approaches and technologies that emphasize civil-military co-operation in this field. NATO took on the command and coordination of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan in August 200. The heart of NATO’s ISAF mission are its Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs). PRTs are small teams of international civilian and military personnel working side by side to support the growth of Afghanistan to provide security and to facilitate reconstruction work. They are key in supporting the three pillars of the Bonn Agreement: security, reconstruction and political stability. While it is not a particularly new concept to combine civil and military methods, for NATO the use of PRTs has required a number of adjustments. The jobs of PRTs are many and varied. Indeed, each NATO PRT is structured differently, according to the demands of the particular environment into which they are deployed. One major aim of PRTs is improving the security environment for the Afghan people through dialogue with provincial leaders and confidence building activities focused on likely areas of conflict. A corollary task is to monitor, assess, advise on and support security sector reform activities, most particularly development of Afghan National Army and police training. Finally PRTs provide a visible presence in assigned areas of operation, monitoring and assessing the military and civil situations within those provinces. ISAF civil-military cooperation teams work in close co-operation with the local population and authorities, as well as with international and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to improve the situation on the ground through concrete projects in the field of education, health, water and sanitation (to name just a few). Not surprisingly, the technological and equipment needs of a PRT are often different from the needs of an “ordinary” combat unit. A premium is placed, for instance, on situational awareness. Having the right kind of information and communications gear, so that the PRTs can talk with NGOs and aid workers, is crucial. Planning tools for civil works are invaluable. Flexible construction equipment that can be used in a variety of projects is likewise important. And the list goes on… For this reason, the CNAD Exhibition “Technology support to PRTs” is intended to foster close cooperation among Allied industries, research and technology institutions and military authorities. It provides companies the possibility to present their most innovative concepts and designs to support PRTs, and serves as a forum to exchange ideas and know-how among companies, National Armaments Directors (NADs), NATO staff and national delegations. In particular, the presence of NADs, the most senior defence procurement officials from each NATO Nation, who are currently participating in the Spring 2006 CNAD plenary meeting here at NATO HQ, assures high-level visibility to the crucial mission of the Alliance’s PRTs in Afghanistan. With regard to industrial participation, we have presented a balanced mix of companies from NATO’s Nations. Each of these companies is a valuable team member in enabling the Alliance to succeed in its critically important task of bringing security, political stability and reconstruction to Afghanistan. I thank the exhibitors for coming to NATO and making this Exhibition so useful to our nations and our collective security. Welcome to the Spring CNAD Exhibition “Technology Support to PRTs”.
