Royal New Zealand Air Force Chief on the Future South Pacific Operating Environment

New Zealand plays a significant role in upholding stability and security in the South Pacific. The relatively small forces and communities of that region face serious security challenges, including climate change, internal disputes, and foreign interference – all played out over vast geographic distances.

Air Vice-Marshal Clark will discuss trends, challenges and opportunities in the future operating environment, and explore how innovation and resilience can deliver effective capability for a small force, focusing on the South Pacific.

The webinar will be moderated by Paul O’Neill, Director of Military Sciences, RUSI.
