Dear all,

On behalf of the Director of the MCCE, Colonel Erik van de Ven – NLD ASF, you are kindly invited to the 5th National Movement Coordination Centre (NMCC) Commanders’ Forum in Eindhoven (NLD).

The Forum will be held at Eindhoven Airbase from 17 to 18 March. We will kick off the networking activities with an informal Icebreaker in the city centre on 16 March starting at 18:30.

Forum objectives

The overall aim of the 5th NMCC Commanders’ Forum is to enhance the network amongst the NMCC Commanders (and equivalents). Fundamentally, active participation and engagement will provide a valuable and exclusive opportunity to share best practice, discuss challenges and bring to the table future potential areas for cooperation. Therefore to facilitate this activity and stimulate discussions we suggest that NMCC Commanders provide a short presentation concerning national best practices or any other topic of interest (maximum 10 minutes).  Furthermore guest speakers will provide presentations on topics of current relevance. The most important part of the forum remains the discussions between participants and the networking opportunity.

Agenda

The agenda can be found here: Proposed agenda

All NMCC Commanders willing to provide a presentation should inform us in advance so we can adjust the agenda accordingly. A suggested template can be found here: Presentation template
For any additional discussion topics to be included in the agenda, please send email plans@mcce-mil.com,  NLT 02 March 2026.
