Multinational operations under the direction of both the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU)
have become the norm rather than the exception. In the light of an
emerging partnership between both organizations, this paper
analyzes the NATO Strategic Concept 2010 and assesses it
consequences for the operational level or war and effective
operational art in multinational operations. In the light of
changed fiscal realities in Europe, this paper identifies a
widening strategic military capability gap between the United
States and European countries and an increasing divergence between
multinational ambitions and the reality of national military
capability planning. The most significant outcomes for effective
operational art in multinational operations are the following.
First, the operational level of war needs to integrate civilian
planning in campaign design, which requires an adaptation of NATO's
command structure and NATO's operational level doctrine with the
aim to bridge to and take advantage of EU civilian competencies in
this field. Second, the study agues for an adaption of existing
NATO standardization agreement provisions for efficient operational
logistics in multinational operations and enhanced tactical
military training among European countries. This will require,
third, a high effort in armament cooperation to make military
equipment more interoperable. In this field, the European Defense
Agency has great potential to become key actor.
