Strategic Training for Global Crisis Management! Army War College Provides Intensive Training to CONNEXT CEOs on Responding to the US-Iran Conflict, a Crucial Issue for the Thai Economy.

On March 12th, Major General Kiatchai Opaso, Commander of the Army War College, presided over and delivered a special lecture on "Strategic Command in a VUCA Environment." He emphasized that in a world of volatility and uncertainty, national leaders need three key skills: strategic foresight, decisive action under limited information, and unified command, to safeguard national interests. The simulation focused on a challenging US-Iran crisis, a crucial test for the Thai economy.

A key highlight of the study tour was the division of executives into Strategic Command Teams to simulate a national-level crisis. The main scenario involved "military tensions between the United States and Iran," directly impacting the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global trade and energy.

Strategic analysts from the Science and Technology Development Agency (STA) and the CEO of CONNEXT jointly assessed the potential impact on Thailand in three key dimensions: 1. A sudden surge in global oil prices due to the closure of shipping routes; 2. Accelerated inflation due to increased transportation and raw material costs across the system; and 3. Immense pressure on the manufacturing and logistics sectors, potentially leading to an economic slowdown.

"A single decision in this strategic meeting could change the direction and future of the country forever," was a key lesson emphasized by the military speakers, highlighting the importance of prudence and proactive planning.

At the end of the event, an Executive Dialogue Forum was held under the topic "The Role of the Private Sector in National Strategic Stability." This in-depth discussion reflected that national security today is not solely the responsibility of the military, but a coordinated effort between the government, private sector, and political parties to build a shared shield against global risks.

This training not only developed individual skills but also built a network of leaders ready to "conquer crises" and guide Thailand through all storms of change with strength.
