Summary/Abstract: The consolidation of Romania’s strategic profile as a NATO and EU member state has represented a fundamental goal of Romania’s foreign, security and defence policy. In this respect, in the author’s opinion, in order to support our country’s strategic priorities, one needs to develop armed forces that are capable of assuming a relevant role by becoming involved in international operations, from high intensity combat missions to stabilisation and reconstruction ones, as well as in the effort to counter terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. To project the capabilities that are needed in order to assume this role, it was necessary to adapt the legal framework of the defence planning process and the overall vision of Romania’s political objectives in order to set a series of priorities regarding our country’s foreign engagements, the forces to support these engagements and the resources needed in this respect.
