An international research conference for warrior-scholars organized by the NATO Defense College on 29-30 April 2015 in Rome<\/p>\n

Echoing the Wales Summit Declaration in relation to the hybrid threat, the current Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, has observed that \u201cWe are at \u2026 a warfare inflection point; one that eclipses the introduction of nuclear weapons, the introduction of the air domain and the airplane, and the transition from battleship to aircraft carrier.\u201d1<\/sup> This prophecy was borne out in early 2014 with the emergence of Russian-inspired \u201chybrid warfare\u201d on the plains of Eastern Europe. As the North Atlantic Council stated in its 2014 summit declaration, \u201cWe have gathered in Wales at a pivotal moment in Euro-Atlantic security. Russia\u2019s aggressive actions against Ukraine have fundamentally challenged our vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace\u2026 We will ensure that NATO is able to effectively address the specific challenges posed by hybrid warfare threats, where a wide range of overt and covert military, paramilitary, and civilian measures are employed in a highly integrated design.\u201d2<\/sup> <\/p>\n

The ability of all Allies to understand and respond to this new type of warfare consisting of regular, irregular, and criminal elements operating across real and virtual spaces will be essential to safeguarding the peace and security of the Euro-Atlantic area in the 21st century. NATO\u2019s eastern and southern flanks are equally at risk as recent events in Ukraine and the rise of ISIL underscore. <\/p>\n

An essential step in NATO\u2019s campaign to defeat this new hybrid threat is providing its current and future leaders\u2014its soldier-scholars\u2014with opportunities for reflection to contemplate the ends, ways, and means that are required in the development of associated strategies. With the benefit of academic freedom, the NATO Defense College (NDC) is uniquely positioned as a forum to do just that: to bring together the Alliance\u2019s senior officers with diplomats and experts to share and build on their knowledge of warfare\u2019s latest inflection point. <\/p>\n

The NDC will therefore convene a two-day international research conference of senior Alliance leaders and scholars in Rome from 29-30 April 2015, to address: \u201cNATO and New Ways of Warfare: Defeating Hybrid Threats\u201d. Day One will include participation by NDC Senior Course members, the local diplomatic community, and the media. It will serve to clarify the broad political and military dynamics in the international system underpinning this new threat to the Alliance. Day Two will be a closed day for NATO members and invited partners to reflect on strategies across the Alliance\u2019s core tasks as it deals with three central threats: providing deterrence capabilities that simultaneously reassure allies, dealing with aggressive Russian behaviour, and facing the militant Jihadist challenge in the Middle East. Participants will discuss NATO\u2019s responses to these new threats. A summary report will be compiled and distributed to the NATO Military Committee and conference participants following the deliberations. <\/p>\n
