NATO in the New Era of Collective Defense

Please join NATO Public Forum think tank consortium members Hudson Institute, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), the Atlantic Council, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and GLOBSEC for a conversation with NATO Chair of the Military Committee (CMC) Admiral Rob Bauer, the alliance’s highest-ranking military official.

Admiral Bauer is visiting the United States in the lead-up to the Washington summit to talk about the alliance’s strengths and speak frankly about its challenges. As he told the Wall Street Journal in April, “Politicians always talk about cooperation, but in practical terms they don’t have a clue.”

The CMC has also made it a point to regularly meet with key private sector figures to improve NATO’s industrial base. As the Journal described his thinking, “the West needs not only to boost military production; it must fundamentally rethink what defense means, starting with the private sector.”

At Hudson, Senior Fellow Nadia Schadlow will moderate a discussion with Admiral Bauer on where the alliance needs to improve, the state of the Russia-Ukraine War and deterrence against Moscow, and the readiness of NATO’s defense industrial base. Center on Europe and Eurasia Director Peter Rough will deliver introductory remarks.

To attend, RSVP to David Altman at [email protected].
