The aim of UNMILPOC is to impart such knowledge and attitudes to officers from the Nordic countries and other countries so that he/she is able to perform MP-officers functions or to perform MP-shift Commander functions in a multinational MP unit within a NATO or UN operational area.
This is done through

-orientations and
-exercise “Blue Beret”.
Other activities are integrated in the course, such as an official visitors day, sightseeing, social events, and activities concerning the “Gammel Dansk Society”.
The first UNMILPOC was conducted in 1969 at Farum Barracks in Copenhagen with 27 students from the four Nordic countries.
The following courses were conducted at different barracks in the area of Copenhagen. In 1976 the course was moved to Aalborg, and since UNMILPOC has been conducted at Aalborg Barracks.
The course is designed for some 40 students normally split into an officer’s class of some 15 and a non commissioned officers class of some 25 students.
