Institutionalising Combat Experience: Memorandum Between the Ministry of Defence, the General Staff, and Boryviter
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence, the General Staff, and Boryviter Military School signed a Memorandum of Partnership on implementing NATO Lessons Learned methodology.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Boryviter Military School have signed a Memorandum of Partnership and Cooperation on the implementation of NATO Lessons Learned methodology — a systematic framework for capturing, analysing, and applying combat experience.
The memorandum formalises joint work on integrating after-action analysis processes into the structure of the Defence Forces. The methodology enables military units to rigorously examine operations, rapidly draw conclusions, and implement corrective actions — directly impacting the preservation of lives and the quality of mission execution.
The document was signed by Deputy Minister of Defence Stanislav Haider, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Major General Volodymyr Koval, and Head of Boryviter Orest Bilous.
The School trains the methodology and builds the processes that enable the nation’s military and political leadership to make decisions grounded in actual combat experience.
