Approaches to the Role of the Host Nation Support in Strategic Deployment

The structural changes determined by the increasingly dynamic and volatile evolution of the security environment, the new elements in the command and force structure at national and allied level, have led to legislative amendments accordingly. This paper aims to analyze the host nation from the perspective of the forces deploying on its territory by determining how regulations have evolved in this area and highlighting the main capabilities whose development at the host nation level can support the deployment. We have chosen to analyze the documents governing the addressed areas at NATO and US level and to conduct a case study relevant to the subject.
