Logistics Capability Conference will bring together the international logistic community for discussions focused on specific logistic functional areas as well as the latest trends and developments in the field of defence and security. The conference will highlight the need for interoperability and deeper cooperation with science and research to eliminate current and future threats, to prepare Alliance ́s forces undertaking the full range of its missions, as well as to address future challenges. This will require a coherent set of deployable, interoperable and sustainable forces equipped, trained, exercised, commanded and able to operate together and with partners in any environment. One of the ways to achieve this ambition leads through NATO Smart Defence initiative.
