Interallied
Confederation of Medical Reserve Officers |
INTERALLIED
CONFEDERATION OF RESERVE OFFICERS |
The CIOR was founded in
1948 by the Reserve Officer Associations of Belgium, France and the
Netherlands. The Confederation now brings together all existing Reserve Officer
Associations in NATO countries - 18 in total.
The members of these
Associations are active as civilians in business, industrial, academic,
political and other fields of professional life, in addition to their role as
Reserve Officers.
They are therefore in a
position to contribute to a better understanding of security and defence issues
in the population as a whole, as well as bringing civilian expertise and
experience to the tasks and challenges facing reserve forces in NATO.
CIOR is the abbreviated
title of the organisation and is derived from the full name in French
"Confédération Interalliée des Officiers de Réserve". The
Confederation is a non-political, non-governmental, non-profit-making
organisation dedicated to cooperation between the national Reserve Officers
Associations of NATO countries and to solidarity within the Atlantic Alliance.
The CIOR's principal
objectives include working to support the policies of NATO and to assist in the
achievement of the Alliance's objectives; maintaining contacts with NATO's
military authorities and commands; and developing international contacts
between Reserve Officers in order to improve mutual knowledge and
understanding.
Delegates to the CIOR
are elected by their national Reserve Officer Associations. The head of each
delegation is a Vice-President of CIOR. The CIOR International President and
Secretary General are elected by an Executive Committee. They serve for two
years and are members of the same national association.
Apart from the President
and Secretary General, the Executive Committee consists of the 18
Vice-Presidents and up to four other delegates from each national Association.
Voting is on the basis of a single vote cast by each Vice-President on behalf
of his delegation. The Executive Committee is the CIOR's policy body and
decides which country will assume the presidency, where congresses will be held,
what projects will be assumed by the various commissions and the final actions
to be taken on these projects.
The CIOR is financed by
annual subscriptions from its component national associations based on the size
of the membership of each association and on subsidies, gifts and legacies.
Four permanent
commissions and one legal committee work on behalf of the Executive Committee
under the guidance of the President. The Commissions are as follows:
Commission 1
- Defence Attitudes and Security Issues;
Commission 2
- Civil/Military Cooperation;
Commission 3
- Communication;
Commission 4
- Competitions.
The Executive
Committee may from time to time appoint a subcommittee or subcommission to
consider specific matters outside the terms of reference of permanent
commissions or committees.
The CIOR meets on an
annual basis in the summer, alternating the location among member countries. It
also organises a winter conference for the CIOR Executive Committee and
Commissions.
The Interallied Confederation of Medical Reserve Officers (CIOMR)
The CIOMR (Confédération
Interalliée des Officiers Médicaux de Réserve) was established in Brussels in
1947 as the official organisation of medical officers within NATO's reserve
forces. Originally founded by Belgium, France and the Netherlands, the
Confederation now includes all CIOR member countries.
Its objectives include establishing close professional relations with the
medical doctors and services of the reserve forces of NATO countries; studying
issues of importance to medical reserve officers, including medico-military
training; and promoting effective collaboration with the active forces of the
Alliance.
The CIOMR is an
associated member of CIOR. The CIOMR holds its sessions at the same time and
place as the CIOR summer congress and winter conference but follows its own
agenda for the discussion of medical matters.
