The Resiliency Summit brought together resiliency and stabilization professionals and practitioners from across the entire interagency. This forum allowed for the exchange of updates, best practices, identify capability gaps and other ideas to influence and enhance resiliency efforts. The Summit advances the renewed USG mandate to enhance interagency coordination for more effective and enduring stabilization, conflict prevention and mitigation, and atrocity prevention efforts worldwide.

Resiliency Readings
The concept of Resiliency as used by the defense community lacks a precise and commonly understood definition. There is no doctrinal definition of resiliency as it relates to stability operations and defense activities. The reading list below is an introduction to the growing use of Resiliency as a defense concept. The 2017 NSS introduces Resilience as a defense concept and the 2022 NSS continues the call to build Resilience. The US has applied a Resiliency concept towards health and climate change as well. Existing Joint doctrine refers to resiliency but does not define it nor use it as a stability concept.
The most well-developed concept of Resiliency for the military and defense communities comes from NATO. NATO has created doctrinal definitions and associated Resiliency with military stabilization activities.
Review the video and presentations in Resilience Overview for a quick introduction to working definitions and concepts. Next, review key US documents to see how Resiliency is understood at the national level. Take a look at JP 3-07 “Joint Stabilization Activities” and scan for resiliency usage. Finally, review NATO’s resiliency concept in particular the NATO Warfighting Capstone Concept and Jamie Shea’s article: Resilience: a core element of collective defence.
