The Enhanced International Peacekeeping Capabilities Program (EIPC)
Duration: 2 weeks

State Department and the Office of the Secretary of Defense created the Enhanced International Peacekeeping Capabilities (EIPC) initiative. The National Security Council endorsed the EIPC concept in December 1996 as a means to increase and improve the global pool of capable peacekeepers. EIPC is funded under the Foreign Military Financing account and is executed by the Department of Defense through the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.

The Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California was designated the lead agent for the education and training program of the EIPC initiative in November 1998. In that role, CCMR has developed a Peace Support Operation (PSO) common core curriculum for peacekeeping training centers and provides a three-phased "train the trainers" program for EIPC recipient countries. For every instructor trained under EIPC, CCMR expects to realize several hundred trained peacekeepers in one to three years after EIPC training.
