Army Summit 2023 - Physical participation
This fall, the Norwegian Army and the Norwegian Atlantic Committee arrange Army Summit for the 15th time. Army Summit is all about sharing knowledge and discuss challenges for the land power. With a background of the ongoing war in Europe, the speakers will reflect upon where to head next, how and why.
– The brutal war in Ukraine is a daily battle both military, mentally and politically. Together with our allies in NATO we support Ukraine with donations of equipment and training. In doing this we also have an important opportunity to share observations and knowledge with Ukrainian soldiers and we will continue to support Ukraine as long as it takes. This year's Army Summit will discuss the ongoing war's implications for the current and future land power.
Major General Lars Lervik, Chief of the Norwegian Army
– The Russian Federation has challenged the European security order. Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine has brought heightened awareness and changes in NATO, with Finland’s admission and Sweden’s application for NATO Membership. This will strengthen NATO and especially improve the security dynamics in the Nordic region. The war in Ukraine has forced the Alliance and Ukraine to stand together and face a threat which endanger our common values and our freedom as sovereign countries.
Kate Hansen Bundt, Secretary-General, The Norwegian Atlantic Committee
Lt. Gen. John S. Kolasheski, Commanding General of the V Corps, U.S. Army and General Sir Patrick Sanders, Chief of the General Staff, the British Army are the keynote speakers of this year’s Army Summit.
