TRIPLEX

1997

TRIPLEX 1997

The first-ever TRIPLEX exercise took place in 1997 in the United Kingdom, marking the beginning of a pioneering initiative in multilateral humanitarian preparedness. Organized by the International Humanitarian Partnership (IHP), the inaugural TRIPLEX focused on testing and enhancing coordination among humanitarian actors in a simulated emergency environment. Bringing together IHP member organizations and international partners, the exercise laid the foundation for what would become a cornerstone of civilian-led humanitarian response training. It set a precedent for future exercises, emphasizing collaboration, interoperability, and the practical application of skills in complex crisis scenarios.
