The Decline of Estonia's Defense Capability?An Analysis of the Task Organization of the New National Defence Developement Plan

Summary/Abstract: In the beginning of 2013, the Estonian government endorsed the new National Defence Development Plan for 2013–2022. It was publicly praised by the Ministry of Defence and by the President, but has fallen under criticism by the former Commander of the Defence Forces and the former Head of the Headquarters’ Planning Section. The clash is not only about minor details,but rather concerns some principal changes that the new plan endorses. The critics have pointed out that the new plan is so defective that implementing it would endanger the security of the State. The main fault lies in the change of the command structure of the Defence Forces as stipulated by the Plan that would arguably collapse the command system that has worked relevantly well for last 14 years.
