The course sought to improve the skills of the engineering staff of the Armenian peacekeeping brigade in the course of demining activities in Armenia and detecting and neutralizing explosives during international missions.

The program was also aimed at preparing engineer-instructors with the knowledge to operate modern equipment.

After the successful implementation of the program, the European Command of the U.S. Armed Forces transferred the technical equipment used throughout the course to the Armenian Defense Ministry.
