NATO Military Committee Chairman Admiral Rob Bower said Western companies needed to prepare for a possible military scenario.
He proposed adjusting production and logistics processes to reduce vulnerability to possible blackmail from Russia and China.
Bauer noted that the ability to deliver key goods under all conditions is a critical element of deterrence, as detailed in the Reuters article.
He also recalled that business plays an important role in ensuring strategic security.
Bauer pointed to the West's dependence on supplies of rare earth materials and pharmaceutical ingredients from China.
The admiral stated that victory in war is ensured not only by military actions, but also by economics.
The head of the NATO committee believes that big business in Europe and the United States must ensure uninterrupted supplies for the sake of security and economic stability.
