✈️ As we begin the new week, we want to highlight another featured article from the new Journal 41 by Lt Gen Holger Neumann, Chief of the German Air Force.
What does it truly mean to be ready for high-intensity conflict?
Lt Gen Neumann outlines the need for a new warfighting mindset, one built on readiness, resilience, and the ability to operate seamlessly across domains. He challenges long-standing assumptions and stresses that success depends on speed, adaptability, and fighting together as a unified Alliance.
Winning is not optional. It is the standard.

✈️ Today’s post highlights one of the articles featured in the new Journal 41.
How do senior leaders view NATO’s adaptation to a faster and more complex threat environment?
In “Sense, Make Sense, Act”, Lt Gen Hinds outlines the shift from traditional air policing to full-spectrum air defence. As threats evolve, NATO must accelerate decision-making, combining faster sensing, better data fusion, and the ability to act decisively across domains.
Mastering this cycle will be critical to success in future operations.
