It examines hybrid threats as a military strategy that blends conventional warfare, irregular warfare and cyber warfare. From another point of view, the article sees over establishing a safe and secure environment for protection of civilians, as well as how to improve resilience through civil preparedness and tailored NATO support to national authorities. NATO requires a concept to be developed that operationalizes the NATO Policy with emphasis on its implementation through the planning and conduct of operations, training, education and exercises, lessons learned, as well as defence related capacity building activities. The article tackles the question of using the Centres of Excellence as an education and training network in building resilience in society against threats, including hybrid threats and protection of civilians.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orlin NIKOLOV</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distributed Training, CAX and Experimentation in support of Crisis Management</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CAX</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Civil-Military Interoperability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comprehensive approach</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defence Support to Civilian Authorities</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">disaster relief</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">interagency cooperation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">multinational exercise</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NATO-EU Cooperation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">138-146</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper addresses multinational and interagency cooperation in efforts to create expertise in the crisis management area. The focus is on using a simulation environment and conducting Computer Assisted eXercises (CAX) in order to enhance NATO-EU relations through development of military capabilities. More specifically, it is about how the EU and NATO and their Member States should pursue multinational projects and deliver the military capabilities they need and can use not only for military purposes but for crisis management in support of civilian authorities as well. Finally, it presents ongoing Bulgarian activities towards the creation of a Centre of Excellence in Crisis Management and Disaster Relief in support of the efforts of the EU and NATO to develop capabilities in areas where both organizations have the same requirements and similar shortfalls. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
