Exercise Use the typology provided by De Wijk (2004) to classify the strategic ambition of your country and determine its armed forces’ profile

Typology of armed forces profile Political ambitions Required forces Countries Low profile low risks (5th tier) No capabilities for expeditionary warfare, limited capabilities for stability operations Low profile, medium risks (4th tier) Niche capabilities for expeditionary warfare Medium profile medium risks (3rd tier) Focused toolbox for defensive expeditionary operations and (combat) support Medium profile, high risks (2nd tier) Focused toolbox for offensive expeditionary operations High profile, high risks (1st tier) Broad toolbox for expeditionary warfare Global responsibilities Full spectrum expeditionary capabilities
