This report discusses the key lessons learned from "Assured Resolve," a recent CNAS exercise which identified possible multinational responses to future Russian provocations in the Baltic region. The real time exercise also examined what would constitute a "threshold for action" for organizations such as NATO. According to the report's authors, the main takeaways from the exercise are as follows: 1) different nations have significantly different threat perceptions that fall along geographical lines; 2) NATO is not as militarily strong or institutionally resilient as it should be; and 3) the Alliance is aware that it no longer has a coherent strategy to confront a rapidly changing world, and the world knows it.
