19 NATO advising team evaluation for civil-military cooperation. It is very challenging for new organisation to develop. Different functions may cope with unforeseen situations, demanding creativity and flexibility. In the demanding enviorment, civil-military cooperation has always played an important role, since inception. One of the most important taks of CIMIC is to create a positive image for KSF through cooperation and supporting different humanitarin organisations, as well as supporting civil comunity every time is needed. In order to support this important job, and to share the benefite of their experience whenever needed, NATO has assigned a special team of high advisers with abundance of field experience. Team is called NATO advising team, thus delegating an adviser specially to civil-military cooperation departmant due to its importance. CIMIC adviser provides his/her contribution by his/her experience and recommendations, in order to uprgrade and enhace the internal performance of Departmant. Since inception, adviser's function has been of paramount importance and very meaningfull for development of civil-military departmant. The upshot of executed task by CIMIC is always based on soldiers, officers, and civilians' commitment in Ministry of KSF. Together with NAT adviser, CIMIC departmant makes a strong unit, that will continue to be so, regadless of challenges that may arise! KSF sports activities.
