ADAPTING THE NATO COMMAND STRUCTURE. INCREASING THE ALLIANCE DEPENDENCE ON ALLIED FORCE STRUCTURE

Summary/Abstract: The crisis in Ukraine in 2014 can be considered a crucial moment for the North Atlantic Alliance security as well as an important opportunity for NATO to develop its strategy for the years to come. The crisis demonstrates once more that in a constantly changing world, NATO should continually adapt to be more agile, receptive and innovative, while protecting all its members against any risks and threats. An adaptive measure is to ensure that NATO’s Command Structure remains robust and agile and thus it can effectively manage all allied power elements to counteract the challenges that the Alliance can meet across the entire range of missions. In this respect, the Warsaw Summit in 2016 established as a task the need to carry out a functional evaluation of the current command and control structure, mainly considering the changing and evolving security environment as well as the increasing general requirements.
