  1. MCWGCoop 07Feb14 Austrian experiences with OCC Participation in Operations Impacts on Transformation Col NADERER Otto, AUT Delegation to NATO

  2. OUTLINE • Austrian Level of Ambition • Participation in Operations and Impacts on Transformation • Lessons learned • Conclusions

  3. OCC AUT AMBITION • Since 2004 • Current framework • Evaluation of „Rapid Deployable Units“ (RDU) • Evaluation of units participating in international operations (KFOR, EUFOR/ALTHEA, UNIFIL) during the preparation phase • Aim • test / improve interoperability • improve military capabilities (Focus BN –level) • harmonize the national evaluation system with NTL and AFS

  4. Units that successfully passed the whole programme 2010 MOTINF BN MECHINF COY RECCE COY (Re-Evaluated in 2013) CBRN COY (Re-Evaluated in 2013) 2013 GENERAL SUPPORT ENGINEER COY MP PLT EOD PLT CIMIC TEAM FIELD HUMINT TEAM TACTICAL PSYOPS TEAM

  5. Examples (1) OCC E&F evaluated units by 2012 for EU-BGs MOTINFBN (APC) MECHINF COY (IFV) RECCE COY (MOT/IFV) CBRN COY EOD PLT AB 212 HELI DET CARGO TRUCK COY ENGINEER COY (-) CSSBN PSYOPS TEAM EUBG

  6. Examples (2) - Deployment to KFOR II MNBG (W) II MNBG (E) COMKFOR JFCN – DSACEUR Activation Order to the Nations AP PRISTINA C130 APODHÖRSCHING FAA FC PRZ

  7. Examples (3) Until 2010 only „Operational Rehearsals“ in the mission area BALKAN During the unrests in the northern part of Kosovo, ORF were permanently deployed in the mission area from aug11 until jan13 AUTCON 8/ORF, ZUPCE, northern part of Kosovo, nov11

  9. Pool of Evaluators • The Austrian Armed Forces are disposing of more than 70 trained evaluators at different levels • In 2014 we support various OCC evaluations with 12 evaluators in countries like • ARM, AZE, GEO, BiH, MNE, SWE… • And we receive support from outside!

  10. Impacts on Transformation • Achievements: • Improvement in interoperability of established RDU • Lessons Identified/Lessons Learned • in TTPs • in Procurement • Synchronization of national regulations and training directives (ongoing) • Combining national Ex with OCC Evaluations

  11. Lessons Learned • The national „Readiness-Check“ of units is a challenge, but a useful burden • Time consuming before being standard • It took years to be cost-effective • Increasing acceptance • Prerequisites for the effective use of the OCC E&F Tool • Harmonisation of national regulations and training directives with AFS (ongoing) • No training without evaluation • Evaluator pool including international exchange of evaluators (~ 15 per year)

  12. Conclusions • OCC E&F is a challenge, but • It is a precise tool for assessing interoperability • With its “FFR” clearly offers basis for force development • Continues to be essential for further development of national regulations, training and exercise • Best preparation for units in the whole spectrum of international crisis management • Best influence on Interoperability and Transformation!
