Tomas Godliauskas Joins National Defense Coordination Council in Lithuania

Tomas Godliauskas has been appointed to the National Council for Coordination of National Defense, a presidential advisory body tasked with overseeing the implementation of Lithuania's State Defense Plan. The association Godliauskas represents views this participation as a significant opportunity to contribute to national defense efforts.

According to the association, effective national defense relies on every participant understanding their role, being prepared, and acting collaboratively. Godliauskas stated that joining the council provides a platform to help translate national defense plans into concrete preparedness measures for institutions, organizations, communities, and citizens. The association's goal is to achieve a "swarm effect" by 2030, where the state has a comprehensive plan, and every individual knows their place and is ready to act.

The association plans to focus on public and organizational readiness, their integration into national defense planning, the development of practical operational mechanisms, and the evaluation of progress in universal defense. This aligns with the council's broader mandate to discuss the implementation of defense plan objectives and the preparedness and interaction of various defense system participants.

The National Council for Coordination of National Defense serves as an expert group established by the president. Its deliberations are crucial for ensuring that Lithuania is collectively prepared to face potential security challenges through coordinated efforts across all sectors of society.
