🌍 Investing in our future means empowering young leaders today! The NATO Model Event at the Virginia Military Institute immersed cadets in NATO’s decision-making, military dimensions, and the complexities of global security. 💡“The NATO simulation was a great experience which taught us a great deal about the difficulties and methods of reaching consensus. I think my greatest insight was that these discussions not only involve the presentation of an argument that is acceptable for most of the parties present, but also the diplomatic dance and rhetoric that allow all parties to feel comfortable in coming to a consensus” – stressed Cadet Gabriel Williams after the event. 🎯This event, as well as other Youth Outreach Program events, demonstrates the commitment of NATO Allied Command Transformation (ACT) to engaging with young people and promoting democratic values within the Alliance. For NATO, these programmes are crucial for nurturing a new generation of leaders who are not only well-informed but who understand the importance of international cooperation, deterrence and defence. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ePPjytET #WeAreNATO

NATO and the Future of American Security Today's event, "NATO and the Future of American Security," co-hosted by the #AtlanticCouncil, the #UniversityofWashington and #AlliedCommandTransformation, provided #ACT with the opportunity to discuss the challenges facing the Alliance today and in the future with colleagues from politics, academia, industry, military and especially the young students from the University of Washington. Throughout our engagements we emphasized the critical need for an all-of-state approach to resilience. Resilient member nations are the foundation of a resilient Alliance, enabling us to keep our advantage even in times of strategic shock. Furthermore, we must continuously explore and use emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Quantum computing. This will be essential to preserving our information and decision dominance, ensuring credible deterrence, and keeping engagement dominance in any potential escalation to defend our allies and partners. My sincere thanks to the #AtlanticCouncil and the #UniversityofWashington for partnering with #ACT on this important event and fostering such a productive dialogue. #WeAreNATO #NATO #AtlanticCouncil #UniversityOfWashington #Resilience #Deterrence #Defence
