Maritime Force Projection
27 February - 28 February 2006
Maritime Force Projection

Joint Force Commanders are increasingly looking to exploit the largest manoeuvre area on the face of the earth: the sea. The projection of direct and decisive power from secure, flexible and fully networked sea bases offers a compelling solution to the military and political need for an alternative to basing expeditionary forces in volatile regions – where vital friends and interests are threatened by widely dispersed and increasingly dangerous adversaries. The projection of force from a maritime base will enable strategic, operational and tactical pressure points to be nullified with minimal risk during times of crisis, and accelerate force deployment and employment timelines.

Maritime Force Projection will enable the concepts, requirements and ongoing programmes involved in the projection of force from a maritime base to be discussed. The event follows on from SAE Media Group's well-established and extremely successful Seabasing conference series, and will undoubtedly become one of the major events in the ‘global’ calendar.

Maritime Force Projection will focus on the ‘vision’ and desired capabilities of the major players. In particular, it will address the issues of seabase ‘purity’, capability and size, and how a seamless and truly organised Joint Force Projection concept will enhance the ability to manoeuvre (strategically, operationally, and tactically) without many of the impediments inherent in land based operations. Two other fascinating areas that will be discussed include: the challenge of connecting the seabase to the Advanced Support Base, and the increasing requirement for a humanitarian relief capability to be ‘built in’ to the seabase.

  • New rapid enhancement technologies require only hours to transform an unsuitable site into an effective Force Projection site
  • These technologies can be tailored to the size of the deploying force and vessel requirements
  • Throughput estimates based on simulations suggest that Brigade and larger forces can be effectively projected through austere sites utilizing these technologies

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
