The Finnish Defense Forces is currently recruiting participants for an intelligence course known as the Operational Human Intelligence Course (OHK), which will take place at the Defense Forces' Crisis Management Center in Pori. Notably, the content of the course is being kept entirely confidential, with applicants not being informed of any specifics. In addition, entrance exams for the course are also shrouded in secrecy. The course is set to last about six weeks and will commence at the end of next year.

The intention behind this course is to qualify participants for roles in intelligence operations related to crisis management efforts. According to the course announcement released by the Army, upon completion, participants may have opportunities to engage in intelligence-related work abroad, particularly in the context of various crisis management missions. This aligns with the current participation of Finnish personnel in multiple crisis management operations around the world.

The Finnish Defense Forces actively contributes to international peacekeeping by deploying both personnel and reservists to various conflict zones, where they can participate in missions focused on restoring peace and stability. The mystery surrounding the course adds an element of intrigue, potentially drawing in applicants curious about the nuances of intelligence work and crisis management, while also highlighting the strategic importance of enhancing Finland’s capabilities in global peacekeeping operations.
