"The National Defense Foundation brings together military and civilian experts from Europe and North America to strategize on how best to deter, counter, and defend against hybrid and conventional military threats to democratic states, particularly in the Baltic region. A key element of its approach is to promote democratic resilience by fostering an active and engaged civil society willing to stand up and defend its values."
