12. Implications for Reserve Forces
Full participation in NATO’s approach to act increasingly in concert with other organisations and institutions in order to deal with today’s security challenges.

Reservists can offer specific capabilities as required increasingly in a comprehensive approach, i.e. in the domain of CIMIC, Medical capabilities, media, …

Against the background of a Comprehensive Approach, Reserve Forces have an increasing role to play by inter alia offering specific capabilities and by facilitating the mutual understanding and knowledge of all organisations and institutions involved
