=SHOULD (OUGHT TO) - to make
recommendation, give advice
For this reason, NATO and its member
states should not miss the opportunity that the
COVID-19 crisis offers to set up more structured
plans to ensure readiness in crisis management
In particular, they should expand the concept of
security to include the most pressing non-military
global security threats: climate change, health risks,
and social resilience against disinformation.HAVE TO - to express obligation
To prevent further spread
of COVID-19, some training and exercises activities
had to go through limitations and redesigning. For
example, BALTOPS, a Baltic Sea military exercise
conducted annually since 1972, was this year
strictly restricted to air and maritime assets from 19
countries.
