NATO update

 

US Marines provide logistics support to Finnish forces US Marines from the 2nd Marine Logistics Group are wrapping up a 3-month stay in Finland, the longest deployment yet for the US military’s amphibious branch in the country. During their stay in southern Finland, the US Marines provided logistical support to the Finnish Navy’s Nyland Brigade, a conscript unit that focuses on amphibious operations. Setting up shop at the brigade’s headquarters in Dragsvik, the Marines learned how to integrate their operations with the Finnish forces, who are experts at navigating the island-dense archipelago off the country’s southern shore. The Marines also took part in Freezing Winds 22, one of the biggest maritime exercises ever organised in Finland, an intensive training scenario that saw the Marines provide around-the-clock support to their Finnish counterparts.

Footage includes shots of US Marines conducting aerial and ground logistics operations as part of Exercise Freezing Winds 22, and Finnish conscripts engaging in simulated firefights, as well as interviews with US Marine Corps and Finnish Navy officers.

COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION latest news

 

Press material Thursday 8 December 2022

● Council of the EU   08/12/2022 18:53 | Press release | EU resilience: Council adopts a directive to strengthen the resilience of critical entities   The Council today adopted a directive and a recommendation which aim to reduce the vulnerabilities and strengthen the resilience of critical entities. Critical entities are entities providing essential services that are crucial for the maintenance of vital societal functions, economic activities, public health and safety, and the environment. They need to be able to prevent, protect against, respond to, cope with and recover from hybrid attacks, natural disasters, terrorist threats and public health emergencies. "In recent months we have been subject to hybrid attacks and to the consequences of climate change, and the challenges we face are only likely to grow. Preparedness and resilience is a joint effort. We need to make sure that our societies and industry are ready to face any disruptions to our security and our economies, and that when disaster strikes we can respond swiftly. The directive adopted today is an important step towards achieving this." Vít Rakušan, Czech Minister for the Interior

Federal Acquisition Institute,update

 

Dec. 7, 2022 Modernizing the Federal Acquisition Certification in Contracting Program…Coming Soon!

As a member of the modern contracting workforce, you face challenges unknown to your predecessors. You work with a different kind of industrial base, use new tools in a changing acquisition system, and keep up with new technologies that are transforming both the workplace and federal procurements. All of this happens at a rapid pace. To help you succeed in this environment, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) plans to modernize the FAC-C program in fiscal year 2023. OFPP is planning a program that can better serve you. One thing you’ve told us is that the existing FAC-C certification program forces you to spend too much time on training that isn’t relevant to your work. In this fast-paced world, you don’t have time for that. OFPP and FAI are responding and working to streamline the certification structure. The FAC-C modernization creates a new model of lifelong learning that reimagines how the federal government develops the workforce. It shifts us from a framework that requires everybody to learn everything, to a tailored approach where skills can be obtained at the time of need. The goal is to provide everyone with a strong foundation and provide training packages (credentials) on specific skills and knowledge that align with your mission. The new FAC-C Professional Certification will align with the Department of Defense's Back-to-Basics changes that were implemented in February 2022 for their workforce. No need to worry; everyone that is currently FAC-C certified will remain certified under the new modernized program. OFPP’s policy and additional details will be shared in the new year. Stay tuned to FAI.gov.
