Summary/Abstract: NATO’s permanent transformation reflects the cultural and institutional changes at high level. This process is enhanced by the increasing need for the Alliance forces to be multinational and joint, deployable everywhere and anytime is necessary, coherent from the interoperational point of view. The member states are committed to the process meant to explore and adopt the new capabilities that will increase the Alliance’s capacity to successfully meet the new challenges of a new and often changing strategic environment. In the author’s opinion, transformation is necessary as a direct response to the more and more complex challenges and threats that have occurred in the strategic environment, especially for the last ten years. Thus, it is necessary for NATO to anticipate the environment of future operations and to analyse the lessons learned in the recently ended or ongoing operations.
