In global security there are two new kids in town: hybrid threats and resilience. Hybrid warfare is a potent, complex variation of warfare seeking the decision primarily at non-military centres of gravity. Nations need to be better able to resist, recover, and to assign responsibility to an aggressor nation. Resilience requires joint action of all relevant actors. Decision-makers in nations and organizations, in public and private functions need to be cross-linked to overcome modern, hybrid challenges. Consequently, resilience requirements are reflected in recent European Union and NATO decisions. Four mutually reinforcing „focus areas" will provide for enhancing resilience: identifying key vulnerabilities and associated risks; synchronizing cross-governmental decision making; building military sustainability and civil preparedness; balancing the allocation of available resources. These could serve as a bridge between the presence and future and provide measurable change. „Resilience Readiness Centres" could contribute to significantly enhanced higher level, joint civil-military education and training.
