To deal with challenges originated mainly in Afghanistan, (present NATO's major Theatre of Operations but this is also applicable to any stability ops or under any aegis), Female Engagement Teams (FETs) were established. FETs are battle field enablers who listen, inform and interact with the local population, primarily women, to build enduring trust, confidence and increased support towards Host Nation Government and Multinational Force. In response of the new challenges identified, MNCG participating Nation appointed CJ7 Branch to design and conduct a specific course nominated "MNCG Female Engagement Teams (FETs) Course". This edition of the course applies to any operation and covers the main topics which are deemed necessary from the experience in the fied.
