The International Defense Transformation (IDT) Education program at CCMR explores ways
to maintain advantage over security competitors. It is designed to help nations develop integrated
capabilities to respond more effectively to national-level policy and defend their national
interests, while contributing to collective security arrangements. The objectives, methods,
topics and products of the IDT program can be found here.
IDT conducts an annual two week long course at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey
for Global participants in the fall (during fifth quarter); see the
Expanded International
Military Education and Training (E-IMET) certified P171406 MASL and
Course
Matrix of Informative Presentations and Practical Exercise Sessions for the sixth
offering.
IDT delivers one week long mobile seminars for regional or national audiences; see the
E-IMET certified
P309045 MASL and results of a recent
IDT program conducted for Partnership for Peace
Nations with Allied Command Transformation.
IDT uses textbooks produced by our faculty to describe and amplify seminar content; see
Transforming Defense Capabilities: New Approaches for International Security by Lynne Rienner
Publishers.
In response to recent competitor attempts to deny, disrupt or destroy access to the global commons,
which are shared spaces labeled in defense lexicon as outer space, international waters and airspace,
and cyberspace, CCMR is developing the Global Commons Security seminar; see
draft only MASL.
This offering builds upon the CCMR sponsored 2010 Cooperation and
Conflict in the Global Commons conference conducted in Virginia Beach, Virginia;
see summary of
proceedings. The academic foundation for the
GCS seminar will be the CCMR produced textbook entitled Securing Freedom in the Global Commons
by Stanford University Press.
