AMOS, with whose representatives the Army Chief will interact during the Czech visit, is which organisation?

  1. A.A Czech private defence manufacturer of radars
  2. B.The Inter-governmental Defence Cooperation Agency
  3. C.A NATO military exercise conducted in central Europe
  4. D.The Czech national space research agency

Correct answer

B. The Inter-governmental Defence Cooperation Agency

Explanation

The correct answer is the Inter-governmental Defence Cooperation Agency, which goes by the short name AMOS. The Army Chief is to meet its representatives, along with the Defence and Security Industry Association and leading Czech defence manufacturers, to explore where the two countries can work together in defence technology and industry. Option A is wrong because AMOS is an inter-governmental agency rather than a private company, even though private manufacturers are also part of the programme. Option C is wrong because it is not an exercise; exercises are usually named separately and would not be described as having representatives to meet. Option D invents a space agency role for it. Keeping the industry leg of the visit distinct from the military leg is useful: the military leg is in Prague and Brno, while the industry leg is about agencies, associations and manufacturers.
