The fourth edition of the seminar on NATO Emerging Concepts, organized by the NATO Rapid Deployable Corps Headquarters Spain (HQ NRDC-ESP), was held on January 25 and 26 at the Army War College (Madrid).

Based on some of the concepts that HQ NRDC-ESP has been working on in recent years, the aim of the seminar was to explain and share these concepts with members of the armed forces and civilian armed forces personnel, and to create a forum for discussion and exchange of information among the participants.

This seminar is based not only on the main doctrinal developments being discussed within the Atlantic Alliance, but also on the experiences gained by this headquarters in its various roles as part of NATO's Force Structure since its creation.

This edition of the seminar was attended by an officer from the United States Army stationed at HQ NRDC-ESP, an officer from MADOC (the Spanish Doctrine Command), as well as a Professor from the University of Granada and a Director of the Catholic University of Valencia, who contributed their knowledge in a very enriching way. The French Armed Forces Liaison Officer at DIGENPOL (General Directorate for Defense Policy) was also in attendance.

Logistic support in high-intensity operations, multi-domain operations, new technologies in command posts, the grey zone, applications of artificial intelligence in armed conflicts, digital transformation, as well as the concept of cognitive warfare, were some of the most important topics discussed at the seminar.
