Civil Factor Integration
Definition
Civil factor integration involves incorporating civilian expertise and considerations into military operations to enhance resilience against complex challenges. It also encompasses the identification, analysis, and assessment of civil factors of the operating environment. One of the facilitators for this integration is the Civil-Military Cooperation Centre of Excellence in The Hague, which provides education, training, and guidance on civil-military cooperation scenarios. The Centre's efforts include developing training programmes, contributing to doctrine development, and organising conferences to promote interoperability among NATO members and partners.
