The Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre (JALLC) Advisory Training Team (JATT) conducted a three-day Lessons Learned (LL) training from 03 to 05 December 2019 at the Georgian NCO Academy, Kojori base. The training was attended by 28 students assigned as a LL personnel (or LL Points of Contact as they are known in NATO) from different combat units and HQs of the Georgian Armed Forces (GAF) under the responsibility of the Chief of relevant LL Section. In addition two US Advisors working at Georgian MoD attended the course.
This LL training was hosted by the GAF J7 Military Education and Combat Training Department that is responsible for collecting, analysing, and disseminating all lessons from Exercises and Operations.
Throughout the LL training, the participants got acquainted with the NATO Lessons Learned Capability and Process, gained experience in using analysis techniques applied to LL scenarios, worked with real life examples, undertook practical work, heard success stories, and were briefed on the advantages and challenges of working with a LL management system.
The Georgian LL community found the LL training very useful in their efforts to implement standard LL procedures within the GAF.
