The recent 49th IST OPS meeting and the 76th SCC OPS meeting held in Lisbon, Portugal, was a resounding success, marked by a high rate of participant engagement, exceptional networking opportunities, and fruitful outcomes.
The conference saw an impressive turnout, with nearly 60 participants from 26 of 30 PN. This made it the best-attended IST/SCC OPS meeting in the history of the MCCE.
The high participation rate is evidence of an exceptional community. This community is characterised by mutual respect, deep trust and open discussions. The resulting friendships facilitate multinational co-operation.
Networking is and remains an essential part of the conferences. The conference facilitated meaningful exchanges and helped attendees expand their networks and explore potential collaborations.
Special thanks go to the host nation Portugal; The Joint Command for Military Operations (CCOM)/Joint Operations Command was an excellent host. Special thanks to our comrades Carlos Alberto Pereira Távora and Luís Manuel Fernandes Cerdeira for the organisation.
