Kierunki ewolucji Sił Zbrojnych NATO

The security environment at the turn of the century generates new challenges. They create the need of performing a wide spectrum of tasks, which directly affect demanded abilities, structure and equipment. The North-Atlantic Alliance currently is one of the main political-military organisations designed for creating and assuring peace and stabilisation all over the world. Therefore, there is a continuous need of adjusting the structures and doctrines to unceasingly changing security conditions. The transformation of NATO’s Armed Forces concerns also the requirements put to the allied countries in the range of dispensing suitably trained and equipped units to conduct military operations. It is assumed that these forces should posses specific abilities to effectively execute the tasks in the full spectrum of operations both currently and in the future. Carried out changes have a significant influence on the allied countries’ armed forces, especially in the context of conducting common, multinational operations.
