Since 2018, as a subcontractor to Leidos, MD Franks supports the NATO Special Operations Education, Training, Exercises and Evaluations (ETE&E) program, providing Education, individual and collective Training, and Exercise Support. Our SMEs, who are graduates of the NATO SOF Instructor Training Course, work with NATO allies at the NATO Special Operations University (NSOU), the NATO Joint Warfare Centre, other NATO HQs and training sites, and National SOF training sites.  In addition to instruction a variety of NSOU courses, MD Franks provides the Course Author/Lead Instructor for three specific courses.  In addition to supporting NSOU courses, MD Franks supports various parts of the Allied Special Forces Operations Command (SOFCOM) exercise program, including helping the NATO Special Operations Component Command (SOCC) HQ plan and conduct exercises for NATO Response Force (NRF) certification and other interoperability training and education.  As part of this NRF certification effort, we have participated in Battle Staff Training (BST), Crisis Response Planning (CRP), MEL/MIL scripting events, and assisted the SOCC Response Cell as part of the Exercise Control element during exercise execution.  We also worked on the teams that developed a new SOFCOM handbook for SOCC Exercise Response Cells, a new Maritime SOF manual, and updates to the SOCC manual, as well as a new near-peer scenario used across NSOU courses.
