The Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT), General Philippe Lavigne, hosted the event at SACT Headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, 6-8 December 2022. The AWDC serves as Allied Command Transformation’s annual meeting for Flag Officers/General Officers, civilian equivalent decision-makers from NATO nations, and the Directors of the Alliance-accredited Centres of Excellence, which are responsible for warfare development activities. The theme of the 2022 AWDC was “Better Today, Stronger Tomorrow.” The plenary conference session focused on showcasing and explaining linkages between the NATO Defence Planning Process, warfighting development agenda and capability development. Syndicate sessions provided information on long-term trends and implications resulting from the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine as well as exchange views on persistent interoperability challenges. Cognitive Superiority in a connection with Multi-Domain Operations was highlighted as a future tangible advantage over adversaries.
