The Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) will be conducting its first Warfare Conference April 23-24 2013. It is open to all Commands, NATO Agencies and personnel from the Defence structures of NATO Nations and Partners.

2013 marks the tenth anniversary of the JWC and the theme of this first Warfare Conference is, “Warfare founded on common doctrine, the baseline for transformation”. This solid foundation in doctrine is essential if we wish to transform. In fact, the establishment of a common doctrine in NATO is the reason why the Nations of NATO have been able to work together in operations across the world.

The intent of the conference is to explore how NATO can focus on strengthening our common standards to provide this solid foundation.

A preliminary agenda is available and can be requested from the OPR, Mr Paul Sewell ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

The conference will offer an interesting panel of speakers bolstered by targeted syndicate work, which will focus on creating concrete recommendations for improving the essential distribution of lessons to doctrine development and into common useful standards for NATO.
