Special Operations Presents: International Security Cooperation Summit

IQPC is pleased to announce the International Security Cooperation Summit, the latest event in our Special Operations Series of events, providing an in-depth look at current and future requirements to build partner capacity, working within the framework of our multilateral, regional, and bilateral defense relations within the Central Region.

Over the three day summit, we will take an in-depth look at increasing return-on-investment cooperation in the security sector, including programs toTrain and Equip forces to conduct Counterterrorism (CT) and Stability Operations. We will also look at requirements to develop partner nation Special Operations Forces (SOF) capacity, Border Security, Maritime Security, Logistics, Civil Affairs, Defense Institutions, and others.

We will kick off the summit with a deep-dive focus day examining security cooperation activities specifically focused on addressing the transnational threat posed by ISIL. Countering this deadly violent extremist organization is not just about find, fix and finish – it necessitates a comprehensive approach with coordination and cooperative activities across the full-spectrum of activity with our partners.  We will look at specific capability development, sustainment of that capability, strategic goals, and the necessary adaptability of programs to anticipate and respond to emergent and dynamic requirements. 

Security challenges have grown exponentially within the last few years in the Central Region -  in fact, there is an almost unprecedented level of activity, turmoil, and conflict among both state and non-state actors in this region. These are symptoms of a wider set of challenges plaguing this strategically-important part of the world.

To help you understand these complex challenges and threats we bring you the International Security Cooperation Summit, providing an in-depth look at current and future interagency and allied nation requirements to Build Partner Capacity, working within the framework of our multilateral, regional, and bilateral defense and security relations within the Central Region.
