Description: This one-week course is comprised of seven modules which complement each other in the understanding of maritime aspects in contribution to Operational Planning and control of Joint Operations. Each lecture ends with an interactive Q & A to enable students to develop and consolidate their understanding of the subject topic. Panel discussions will be used to enable in-depth conversations with more than one lecturer, thereby allowing contrasting viewpoints to be aired. Course material will be given upon completion for reference.

Lectures are designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of the content being presented and are followed by brief, moderated Q&A sessions. Apart from these lectures, small syndicates will perform table top exercises and provide back briefs to amplify the class. Multimedia tools are used in a balanced and constructive combination to enhance internalization of information.
