Communication and Engagement

The current security situation is subject to change: phenomena such as hybrid threats, identity issues, demographic developments, the global spread of the internet, and mass use of social media play a major role in modern conflicts.

One of the required capabilities in this context is Communication & Engagement (C&E). This includes researching, understanding, and choosing the right approach in the context of the operational and civilian environment. This capability requires a number of necessary specialisms that are essential in the current context of military operations in the fields of social media analysis and influencing, media graphics and digital product development, and mass communication.
