1. PART ONE COURSE PROPONENT a. Requirement for the creation/ modification of a course: At the NS BOA 27 June 2005 NS proposed to transform the following existing three independent courses into modular components of a comprehensive NBC education program: NATO NBC Defence Orientation Course (M3-70) would be a basic course and a prerequisite for other two courses; NBC Warning and Reporting System Course (N3-71) was to become a prerequisite for the advanced course; and NATO Advanced NBC Defence Operations and Exercise Planning Course (N3-72) would remain as the advanced course. The proposal would eliminate duplication in lessons offered. The proposal would transform the N3-71 course from a two-week course into a one-week course. The concept was approved by the BOA and NS was directed to develop the three courses as proposed. . b.
