The return of war in Europe and its fallout on the European security architecture highlighted the need for EU member states to invest more and better in harmonising their national defences. As security becomes one of the EU's most strategic areas of engagement, common defence policies are a priority to ensure the bloc's resilience and effectiveness in facing our century's most pressing security challenges.
StrategicALLY is a podcast by Finabel, a European think tank promoting the cooperation and interoperability of land forces among its member states. Joined by their guests, Gaia Durante Mangoni and Patricia Bernardo break down the latest European defence and security developments by fostering a common European understanding of defence issues.

In this episode of StrategicALLY, hosts Livia Perrulli and Nicola Bonsegna are joined by Major Stephen Nelson, Simulation Officer at the U.S. Army Futures Command and former Program Director for NATO’s Next Generation Modelling and Simulation. Together, we explored the strategic use of modelling, simulation, and wargaming in NATO.
We discuss how these tools support defence foresight, operational readiness, and multinational cooperation. Major Nelson shares insights on NATO’s efforts to build a common synthetic environment, enhance interoperability among Allies, and embrace new technologies such as AI, digital twins, and cloud-based platforms.
Tune in as we unpack how simulations and wargames help prepare commanders for modern conflict and inform real-world decision-making.
