capability as a highly capable, constantly adapting, reliable Headquarters (HQ),
ready to cope with future challenges, as well as the high level of training and
professionalism of its personnel. Additionally it reflects our contributing Nations’

emerging security threats in the physical, virtual and cognitive dimensions, in order
to be capable to respond to future security challenges as part of the Alliance’s
effort.
2) Assure NATO community and Partner Nations of NRDC-GR
continuing ability to effectively contribute to the regional and wider South-Eastern
