NATO sits at the heart of UK Defence Strategy, yet for those in NATO appointments there is a feeling of peripheral, rather than central, involvement. The CHACR, this month, helped to go some way to rebalancing this situation. But it also explored a range of more nebulous ideas, such as: “what does winning mean in the 21st century?” Importantly, our activities, no matter how varied, depend heavily upon the Army’s engagement if they are to have real effect. So thank you for staying engaged…and there are still a few places left for the 5th December GAP conference.
