Speech at PfPC Annual Conference George C. Marshal Center, Garmisch, Germany Education can serve many purposes, but the defense education system stands out with its focus on security thinking and its capacity to deliver. Products of this system - defense and security leadership - are in charge of the Armed Forces but also security policies and they make up one of the most important components of the society’s identity. Hence, quality defense education matters for the Armed Forces readiness and the entire society’s behavior as such. In turn, these are connected with the role of society in the international system, and its aptitude to take part in regional and international security. Accordingly, we may define the role of defense education as a guarantor of the quality of the Armed Forces and a shaper of the society’s identity and behavior of the nation. should not be published without permission
