The PfP Consortium established the Euro-Atlantic Conflict Studies Working Group in 1999, originally as the Military History Working Group. The mission of the group has evolved from leveraging historical analysis for military education to addressing modern security challenges, such as hybrid warfare and disinformation. Through its conferences, professional military education curricula, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the group has fostered international scientific cooperation and enhanced NATO's strategic capabilities. This article reflects on the group’s journey, emphasizing its adaptability in response to shifting global security dynamics and its role in promoting regional and transatlantic unity. It also highlights the group’s innovative initiatives, including the introduction of concise, actionable Information Papers for policymakers. As it continues integrating historical insights with contemporary strategy, the group remains a vital resource for fostering intellectual exchange and addressing evolving security challenges.
