What is CO.L.I.BRI ?
• It is not a system
• It is not a platform
• It is not a network
 It is a Philosophy !

Force Protection
• Is the maintenance of the security and health of
all military personnel, a priority in military
operations. Force protection standards are
established by the force commander. They apply
to all military personnel and include such
measures as wearing protective gear, restricting
movement in specific areas, requiring all travel
in pairs and/or with two vehicles, and
maintaining specific weapons requirements.
Information Sharing Networks
• Examples are the CENTRIXS, the GRIFFIN
(Globally Reaching Interactive Fully
Functional Information Network), the CFBL
(Combined Federated Battle Lab), and other
MNIS network programs, as well as related
cross-domain security programs associated
with the sharing of information with foreign
nations and forces, as an integrated MNIS
solution to support the combined warfighting
environment.
CIMIC
• (Civil Military Cooperation Center) is the
NATO term for a coordination mechanism
between civilian and military entities, often
a center that serves as a liaison between
humanitarian, international, and local
entities and the military.

CONCLUSO IL TERZO CORSO COMBAT AERO-MED PRESSO IL 17°
STORMO INCURSORI DELL’AERONAUTICA MILITARE
Medici ed infermieri dell’Aeronautica Militare, Corpo Militare della Croce Rossa
Italiana e Sovrano Militare Ordine di Malta per la prima volta insieme
“Il corso è stato organizzato dal CSA ed ha coinvolto il 17° Stormo nelle sue
componenti operative e logistiche, il 15° Stormo di Pratica di Mare (Roma) per le
attività di volo, il Quartier Generale del CSA per le attività di 'Force Protection' e per la
sperimentazione del sistema Common Live Intercommunication Bridges (CO.L.I.BRI)
ed il Centro Addestramento Sanitario Professionale (CASP) del Comando Logistico
per le attività didattiche.”
