Overview
We view the world through the lens of our key sector: land forces. For our Member States this means they benefit from an organisation fully focused on this sector, wholly understanding the challenges they face and completely tuned in to their needs. Over the decades we have been careful to build our international presence using a combination of local researchers with demonstrable local knowledge and fully integrated teams acting together at a global level. The Finabel Committee’s initial task focused on the cooperation between armament programmes. This task quickly developed into the harmonisation of army doctrines. "There is only one thing stronger than all the armies of the world: and that is an idea whose time has come."
