Site coordination

Two relatively formal chapters to put the COUS in its context and understand how it works:

From the field to the ministries, a repeating pyramid and inter-service organization.

The inter-service roundtable in an operations center: why, how, who and when

Some important concepts with their exercise of application:

From information to intelligence, the power of cross-departmental expertise

Group exercise: "What do you see?", Understand the value of the expertise of the other to transform information into intelligence on the basis of a few scenarios

Civil security operations: the necessary inter-service cooperation

Group exercise: "Changing hats", understanding the other's needs in terms of information based on short scenarios

The importance of the analysis of the intervention area: what are the parameters of the field to integrate depending on the type of operation

Group exercise: "The wise choice", choosing the location of the operations center, the security perimeter, the different zones, etc.

Evacuate an area: why, how, when, with what, who… Inter-service coordination.

Group exercise: “Evacuation! "

Note: the presence of at least one representative of each entity likely to be called upon to work within the operations center (fire department, police, technical services, etc.) is strongly recommended.
