Lithuania's defense strategy for the coming decades is the focus of a new comprehensive defense model presented by the organization 'Stronger Together'. The model, developed by the Washington-based 'New Generation Warfare Centre', analyzes global best practices for establishing a total defense system.
The core objective of this system is to clearly define the role of every citizen, organization, and institution in the face of crises, war, or natural disasters. The research considers Lithuania's existing legal framework and the public's preparedness to offer a preliminary proposal for how total defense should operate within the country.
This initiative is considered fundamental to Lithuania's security. The organization is now seeking insights from businesses and other entities to further refine the proposal. The study aims to chart a course for Lithuania's security not just for the immediate future, but for the next several decades, reflecting a proactive approach to national defense.
The presentation, broadcast live, highlighted the critical importance of a unified and prepared populace in safeguarding the nation. The model emphasizes a whole-of-society approach, ensuring that every segment of the population understands its contribution to national resilience.
