WHINSEC works, but this blog apparently doesn't. If I don't get some contact in the next few weeks, I'll retire it.

The institute is staying busy with two instructor groups going to Costa Rica and Peru, respectively, in mobile training teams for short courses taught at the invitation of the host nation. In addition, there are four resident courses in session.

The next big public event will be the graduation of the Command and General Staff Officer Course on May 28. This course has 52 students who came here last June, and who are now preparing for new assignments around the world. The 36 US military officers in the course will be headed off to stateside locations, and many directly to places such as Afghanistan. The sixteen international police and military officers will return to their own countries for further assignment.

Less than a week after the graduation, students of the '10 class of CGSOC will be arriving with their families to begin their year of training.

Summer is a great time to come see the institute. There are always three or four classes in session, plenty to see for those who want to get to know WHINSEC from the inside.
