💡 Missed our last episode on Beyond the Battlefield? Sonja Gruenbauer sat down with Esther Grisnich and Paul Bezem to discuss one of the most pressing and often misunderstood concepts in modern operations.

This episode is not about claiming a special place for Human Security. It is about highlighting its importance in all planning processes, in people's mindset and actions. From the definition to real-world examples, it was a masterclass in understanding how important and challenging Human Security can be.
