Previous centres, and the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre in particular, dealt at a different level than what we do at the Peace Support Training Centre. We really focus on the tactical training, for troops and civilian partners and international partners who will be deploying. Something such as the previous Pearson Peacekeeping Centre dealt with education, research and capacity building, higher-level concepts that were critical for the United Nations to function but completely different from what the troop on the ground would need to look like and the knowledge he would need to have.
The centre that we have now focuses on specific skill sets for an individual. We will tailor it for a mission, if we know which mission they're going on. If not, they'll do a generic United Nations certified course, which will give them the ability to communicate and perform first aid. There will be a cultural awareness component, if there is a particular part of the country they're going to. We really try to focus in on the type of training the individual would need with regard to conduct after capture.
I think there are a number of schools and centres around the world that try to get at higher-level concepts—how we teach agencies to work together in order to solve a conflict, how we recreate all of the national institutions in a country that have been broken—as opposed to focusing, as we do, on the individual soldier skills.
