Perhaps one Study Group Recommendation shall be to eliminate all national caveats.
Why do NATO states have these national caveats anyway? Isn't NATO supposed to operate under unity of command? And only the French our outside NATO's military structure?
National caveats and the NATO's principles of unity of command seem to contradict themselves, but I have probably forgotten everything I learned in NATO 101.
I guess, the mistake was made right at the beginning, when NATO decided that every major member country gets a providence in Afghanistan...
This was done on the Balkans as well, and it seemed to work, but isn't it all against the NATO principles?
"when NATO decided that every major member country gets a providence in Afghanistan"
What do you mean by this? You mean the mistake is saying that every major country gets some kind of say at the strategic level in Afghanistan? Kyle Atwell
