Manpower Software plc announces a new contract with NATO.


NATO's operational military headquarters, known as Supreme Headquarters Allied
Powers Europe (SHAPE), has contracted with London-based Manpower Software plc
for an integrated software system to help manage their Special Operations Forces
(SOF).


NATO's Special Forces Coordination Centre (NSCC) is a new branch currently being
established within SHAPE near Mons, Belgium.  In the new SOF application, it
will support NSCC in the planning, training and generation of Special
Operational Task Groups and staff augmentation to the required levels of
readiness to fulfil future operational objectives.


Multinational forces such as the NATO International Security Assistance Force
(ISAF) in Afghanistan are coordinated by SHAPE, and Special Forces from 26
nations will use the Centre under the current leadership of an American two star
Admiral.


The NSCC will be the centre of all Special Operations Forces (SOF) doctrine,
planning, training and force generation within NATO.  It is designed to ensure
that Special Forces from all NATO nations, large and small, use the same
doctrine and methods for command and control, logistics and intelligence while
conducting operations.


SHAPE already use the Manpower Analysing and Planning System (MAPS, by Manpower
Software plc) both to manage their 15,000 Peace-time Establishment employee
records and for their Force Generation management.
