The PCOSC originates from the increasing

It was officially established on September, 2005,
in Turin, as a branch of the “Scuola di Applicazione
dell’Esercito” (School of Applied Military Studies).
With this project the Italian Army, which plays a
leading role in the Italian commitment to peace,
strives
to
enhance
the
civil-military
interoperability, setting the basis for a real
common understanding of procedures and
mandates, having as a final objective an effective
joint and interagency approach to Stabilization
and Reconstruction operations and missions.
