DIILS students attending the June 2009 International Law of Military Operations (ILOMO) Course visited the Navy’s Surface Warfare Officer School (SWOS) and the Rhode Island National Guard Fire Arms Training Simulator (FATS). Through the use of these technologically-advanced training systems, ILOMO students were afforded the unique opportunity to experience the complexities of applying rules of engagement (ROE) at the operational level. 

The June 2009 ILOMO course brought together a diverse group of twenty-five students from twenty different nations to study the application of international legal standards in military operations. ILOMO provides international military legal professionals with the opportunity to explore the latest developments in the application of law to military operations, as well as the opportunity to exchange their views and experiences with their fellow students.
