In the last few weeks, the Institute for Security Governance (ISG) has been hard at work in the Indo-Pacific region building partner capacity. 

ISG sent two Teams to Thailand: One to support the Royal Thai Navy in developing an improved common operating picture for Maritime Domain Awareness, and another to conduct a United Nations Military Observers Course for thirty-six Thai field grade officers and five other regional partners in conjunction with United States Indo-Pacific Command.

Similarly, ISG partnered again with U.S. INDOPACOM in Malaysia on a United Nations Civil-Military Coordination Officers Course for twenty-six field grade officers from Malaysia and five other regional partners in which participants received UN certified training on how to apply Civil-Military Affairs concepts, techniques. and procedures in ongoing UN Peacekeeping Operations.

Notably, 1/3 of both courses were comprised of female participants. This represents positive growth in the role of women in Peace and Security activities around the globe.
