On 26 and 27 March 2024, the 12th Seminar ‘Directeurs des Écoles de Guerre francophones’ took place at the RMA. This seminar, a collaboration between all countries with French-language Advanced Staff Courses (AStC), is organised by a different participant every year. This year, Belgium had the honour of taking the organisation under its wing.
Commanders of the École de Guerre from Canada, the Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Cameroon, Lebanon, Morocco, Mauritania and Switzerland and an accompanying officer were given presentations by Belgian officers and professors regarding artificial intelligence, wargaming and the Hamas-Israel war. In addition, participants were able to visit the War Heritage Institute and the Mémorial de la bataille de Waterloo. During the presentations, participants were able to exchange ideas and plan collaborations between the different institutions.
