 The first POMLT phase II training session, named as pilot event, took place from 25 to 29 May 2010 in the NATO Joint Force Training Centre in Bydgoszcz (Poland). Being a NATO responsibility, this session has been led by Joint Force Command Brunssum.
EGF held the training direction and provided four subject matter experts for this event that aimed at preparing POMLTs to successfully execute their mission of mentoring, teaching and coaching the Afghan National Police units and headquarters and providing liaison with the ANA and ISAF units.
74 future mentors from 8 countries together with 12 observers participated in that first training session. Instructors have followed a 3 day pre-training session in situ.
The lessons learned from that pilot event will allow to improve the next iterations. In particular, the duration could be extended with a large part dedicated to field exercises.

EGF Electronic library officially unveiled
 The EGF Electronic Library was officially launched by the EGF Presidency during the CIMIN working group held on May 5th, 2010, in Vicenza. The EGF Electronic Library is an important tool that the PHQ created in order to categorize and rationalize the vast amount of EGF documents issued both at strategic (CIMIN) and PHQ level and to make them promptly available in the scope of enhancing the effectiveness of the PHQ daily work. Moreover, in order to foster the information sharing at any level, this instrument has been designed so to allow the Point of Contacts of the Countries participating in EGF to directly access the whole EGF doctrinal corpus, as well as all the most relevant EGF documents.
