NATO SFA COE joined the virtual webinar on “Resilience”
On the 18th of May, the NATO Security Force
Assistance Centre of Excellence (NATO SFA COE) had the opportunity to
participate in the warfare development talk (webinar) on resilience, hosted by
SACT.
It is recognised across NATO that Resilience will
continue to be an important issue for the Alliance for the foreseeable
future. This will be further cemented through NATO 2030, the 2021 NATO
Summit and in any future revision of NATO’s Strategic Concept.
The event was organized with the broad purpose of
progressing the NATO understanding and approach on resilience.
Following the approval of the NATO Warfighting
Capstone Concept (NWCC), the NATO nations agreed to move forward on the
implementation phase.
During the virtual meeting, it was agreed and
clearly stated that coordination of a broad Community of Interest (CoI) to
align thinking and understanding on resilience is the first step.
The NATO SFA COE has already provided support to
the NWCC, emphasizing the need for the NATO Military Instrument of Power (MIoP)
to take into consideration certain SFA features. The COE participation in this
Community of Interest (COI) is also important because resilience should be
considered during SFA operations as a requisite for the transition phase of
Local Forces (LF) and their Associated Institutions in crisis zone.
