Summary/Abstract: The Ukraine Crisis represents, for many military theorists, a huge opportunity to restart debates regarding hybridity in future warfare. Some definitions and conceptual elements regarding hybrid threats and hybrid challenges have been developed since the Second Lebanon War of 2006 and improved after the Chechen War of 2008. In this context, the author shows that, in conjunction with reviewing and adjusting strategies and warfighting concepts, the defence community should revaluate the force structure needed for future conflicts and build adequate capabilities. Given the wide range of threats that may require the need to employ various capabilities simultaneously, NATO and member states must continue to strive for greater joint operations and interdependence.
