the Luxembourg Defence will leverage this technological
know-how and will be able to draw on expertise from EU
countries where necessary. This approach will be implemented in a resolute and intelligent manner, while maintaining the essential cohesion within the armed forces and
respecting the prerogatives of the public authorities.
This evolution will enable Luxembourg to have at its command a set of modern, diverse, relevant and effective tools
and resources for achieving its security objectives. In a
changing world, where the nature of potential and actual
threats is increasingly varied, technological and unforeseeable, the Luxembourg Defence and the armed forces must
also evolve, while conserving our national particularities.
The evolution of the Luxembourg Defence for 2025 and beyond takes account of the changes and broad principles described in the first chapter. Its overall objective is to ensure
that the Luxembourg Defence is effective and modern,
reliable and dynamic, open and solidarity-oriented, and
capable of contributing to security in Europe and beyond.
Defence policy is defined and agreed upon in a specific
framework that structures the thinking and decision-making process, for instance as regards the organization of the
army or capability planning. The armed forces will remain
at the centre of Luxembourg’s defence policy and will be
given new capability areas. Other than the army, durable
capability sectors will be established in partnership with
industry for defence purposes.
Implementing a defence policy entails setting Luxembourg’s level of ambition, i.e. what we wish to be capable of
achieving in the field of defence at the national and international levels. It will then be necessary to put in place the
assets (human and financial resources and capabilities,
etc.) that we wish to have to achieve that level of ambition,
and to decide how we wish to employ them.
