MULTIPLE FUTURES PROJECT

Background

The Multiple Futures Project (MFP) focussed Senior Leader discussion on the

fundamental question: What are the future challenges that pose threats to the

interests, values and populations of the Alliance? This created the basis for

strategic dialogue within the Alliance about future challenges, their relative nature

and gravity, and the potential security implications for the Alliance to respond to

these challenges.

The intent with MFP was not to predict the future, rather to establish an intellectualframework for a wider discussion on the key drivers of change and the different

futures the Alliance may face, out to 2030.

MULTIPLE FUTURES PROJECT

Insights

The evolving nature of risks and threats to vital interests will posenew challenges for achieving strategic unity of the Alliance,

maintaining solidarity, and reaching a common understanding of

what constitutes an Article 5 attack.

Increased interaction with non-NATO nations and other international

actors to create opportunities for the Alliance to extend its role in

enhancing security and stability outside traditional areas of

engagement.

Determined adversaries will attack Alliance vulnerabilities in

unexpected ways, enabled by readily available technologies

requiring the Alliance to consider changes in the character of

military operations and warfare.

Increased interaction with other international actors will provide

NATO the opportunity to positively shape and influence ideas,

values and events in a globalised world.

Countering Hybrid Threats

Action: Establish a BI-SC Integrated Project Team to provide

focal point within ACT/ACO to:Serve as follow on to Multiple Futures Project Develop common understanding and assessment of current

and predicted capability shortfalls and develop solutions. Conduct comprehensive review of documents related to Hybrid

Threats

Develop a Capstone Concept for Military Contributions toCountering Hybrid Threats

Program of Work:

Phase 1 (1 June 09) : Analyze and formulate problem

Complete document review

Phase II (31 Dec. 09) : Provide 1st . Draft Concept

Phase III (1 July 10): Identify Required Capabilities

Fully integrated in DRR process

DEFENCE PLANNING REFORM

More comprehensive & coherent across Defence and Ops Planning

Changes consistent with latest guidance All planning disciplines & stakeholders on equal footing

Military Judgement applied at higher level by Strategic Commands

Increased Transparency, Traceability and Clarity

More formalised management process

Quality checking and cost-effectiveness given explicit consideration Appropriate account of views of nations regarding need to improve

Adopt tailored approach toward nations, as appropriate

Enhanced analysis through improved methodology:

Capability-Based approach

More selective use of Planning Situations

Adopt NATO-wide common and interoperable databases

NATO Capability Database, CDSS, NDPASS, Operational Planning

Better integration of Lessons Learned and CURs

ACT / USJFCOM RELATIONSHIP

A complementary approach delivered

through the co-location and close liaison

between SACT and USJFCOM staffs.

Providing NATO with exposure to US

Joint expertise at little additional cost. Ability to capitalise on USJFCOM force

training, integration and experimentation.

Access to extensive peacekeeping and

CIMIC operational experience.

Greater efficiency in training, planning

and execution of NATO operations.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Clear Bi-SC leadership action moving ACT closer

and more relevant to NATO warfighter Transformation includes support to warfighter both

today and tomorrow Right capability for the right task

Routine Bi-SC Engagement = Synchronized shortand long term NATO capability development across

DOTMLPF-I spectrum Improved training, capability awareness and

interoperability across NATO force structure Reduced potential for paying twice for the

same capability

Routine ACT-ACO Collaboration is Win-Win For AllianceRoutine ACT-ACO Collaboration is Win-Win For Alliance
