Reforming NATO Force Generation, Workshop I

WORKSHOP

 13 MAY 2005

 ROYAL UNITED SERVICES INSTITUTE

Improved force generation has been a key concern of the incumbent NATO Secretary General during his first year-and-a-half in office. The need for more ‘usable’ forces was a central theme of the Istanbul Summit Communiqué. A comprehensive list of priorities for reform was produced at the first annual NATO force generation conference in November last year. This list has provided the basis for a raft of initial reforms, coordinated by DSACEUR.

RUSI is conducting a study of NATO force generation in the context of the Alliance’s political and military transformations. Our project will start with a study of the UK military, MoD and commercial experience in force generation. The discussion will then broaden into a NATO context. The project will begin with a half-day workshop, at RUSI, on 13 May.

Attendance at this workshop is free of charge. To register, please contact Mamoona Shah on:
