Educating Military Leaders on Future Challenges
Educating Military Leaders on Future Challenges

Summary/Abstract: Each member state of North Atlantic Alliance is responsible for the quality of its human capital. Furthermore, by assuming membership status in the Alliance, it becomes accountable for the level of professionalism that it provides. Recruiting and selecting military leaders who operate professionally within NATO is one of the most relevant aspects in the contemporary security context. The pandemic context, military conflicts, and the instability of diplomatic relationships between states are some of the real-world problems that are challenging not only Military Forces but also for military higher education institutions. These institutions are addressed to equip graduates with previously unsolicited competences. The graduates must represent not only the officers of the Alliance but also the future leaders who will perform in a complex operational environment. By focusing on the characteristics of the contemporary security environment and identifying traits that are emerging in the future, this article aims to frame meta-competences supporting curricula to shape military future leaders.
