The European Union Training Mission in Somalia (EUTM-S) was launched on 7 April 2010, since then its Mandate has been extended seven times, with changes reflecting circumstances on the ground. Due to the political and security situation in Somalia at the time, the Mission initially conducted training in Uganda. This 1st Mandate (2010) was focused on tactical training up to platoon level. The 2^nd mandate (2011) was also focused in tactical training but up to company level, introducing specialists training and some train the trainers. The 3rd Mandate (2013) contained a significant change in location relocating the Mission Headquarters in Mogadishu and in focus, with the addition of strategic advisory and mentoring activities to complement the training role. The 4th Mandate (2015) introduced as new tasks the mentoring at the training centre, whilst maintaining its training capability focused on leadership and specialized courses defined jointly with the Somali authorities. The Mission also increased the focus of its advisory component on building long term capability and capacity within the Somali Ministry of Defence (MoD) and SNA General Staff (GS). The 5th Mandate (2017) kept the trace of the precedent Mandate adding the role of mentoring J7 GS. The 6th Mandate introduced the idea of Somali Owned Training System and opened the door to extend the actions to the sectors. And finally we reach the 7th Mandate that started on 01 January 2021 and will finish by the end of this year. This Mandate is keeping the main tasks introduced since 2015 but put the focus on specialized training and decentralized activities.
