The “COIN Orientation Course” is an interesting academic program that is aimed to expand understanding of counterinsurgency operations. Our goal was to set a counterinsurgency mindset that students will be able to apply if deployed in counterinsurgency environment. This mindset will help them to lead the soldiers but also to incorporate COIN ideas in training and prepare others to comprehend COIN doctrine. A huge advantage of this particular course was a diverse participation on the course: international students from 11 different countries, a range of ranks and branches and variety of experiences. 23 students from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Jordan, Egypt, Macedonia, Serbia, Pakistan, Qatar, Kirgizstan, and Ukraine successfully completed the course.
