The United Nations Military Observers Course (UNMOC) is currently underway at the Humanitarian Peace Support School (HPSS). The course aims to equip officers with the critical knowledge and practical skills required to serve effectively and efficiently as military observers in peace operations.
During the opening ceremony, the Deputy Commandant HPSS, Colonel Kinyua, underscored the critical role of the course in enhancing the operational readiness of military personnel. He noted that the course blends theoretical knowledge with practical field exercises aimed at deepening understanding, sharpening essential skills, and preparing participants for real-world deployments in peacekeeping missions.

The participating nations include Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Jordan, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Vietnam. This diverse representation fosters a rich exchange of experiences and perspectives, while also strengthening collaboration and interoperability among officers who may serve together in future missions.
