The health emergency and its economic consequences bear risks and opportunities for Europe's armed forces, argues Amos Dossi in this CSS Policy Perspective. On the one hand, there are short-term interventions in specifications and budgets, on the other hand long-term constructive impulses. Whether the armed forces will have to accept major cuts or gain legitimacy depends to a large extent on whether the interpretation of the current crisis takes place against the backdrop of a broad spectrum of realistic crisis scenarios. Such a perspective views the armed forces as the backbone of an integral crisis insurance, which favors subsidiary synergies without putting core military tasks at risk.
