Fifth progress report on the implementation of the common set of proposals endorsed by EU and NATO Councils on 6 December 2016 and 5 December 2017 16 June 2020 On 6 December 2016 and on 5 December 2017, EU and NATO Councils endorsed, in parallel processes, a common set of 74 proposals for the implementation of the Joint Declaration signed in Warsaw on 8 July 2016 by the President of the European Council, the President of the European Commission and the Secretary General of NATO. Responding to the taskings by the Ministers of both organizations, regular progress reports on implementation were submitted to the respective Councils in June and December 2017, in June 2018, as well as in June 2019. The present, fifth, report covers the period between June 2019 and June 2020. It elaborates on progress achieved in the implementation of the 74 common proposals by showcasing tangible deliverables in all areas of cooperation. In particular, the following elements can be highlighted: - Political dialogue has further intensified at all levels and settings, including in virtual formats, while maintaining the positive trend of mutual and reciprocal cross-briefings. It remains an essential and indispensable instrument for strengthening mutual understanding, building confidence and ensuring reciprocal transparency vis-à-vis the NATO Allies and the EU Member States, as well as their strong engagement. - The Structured Dialogue on military mobility at staff level continues to contribute to information sharing in the key areas of military requirements, transport infrastructure, transport of dangerous goods, customs and cross border movement permissions. - In the area of strategic communications, cooperation focused on strengthening mutual alerting on disinformation incidents and hostile information activities, as well as improving capacities related to detection, analysis and exposure to disinformation.

Strategic Landpower in NATO Vital for U.S
Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2014 Strategic Landpower in NATO Vital for U.S. Security Allied Land Command is the leading advocate for soldiers and land forces in NATO, responsible for ensuring their effectiveness and interoperability. Lieutenant General Frederick B. Hodges, USA Commander, NATO Allied Land Command* Introduction Today’s global security environment is defined by its complexity, unpredictability and the increasing momentum of human interaction; it is the essence of the joint and combined force to remain trained and fully ready to meet any challenge. Strategic land- power—the application of land forces (Army, Marine Corps and special operations forces) toward achiev- ing strategic outcomes across the range of military operations—provides a critical hedge against this un- certain future. The role of strategic landpower is to shape and prevail within the human domain, creating conditions that stabilize people’s daily dealings with one another and generate momentum to bring about and combined-arms capabilities to dominate the en- the nation’s strategic objectives. vironment; and winning decisively when called.

JAPCC Journal 11 Edition 2
JAPCC Journal Edition 2, 2005 Editorial t the launch of the NATO Response Force A(NRF), it was described by the Secretary General as “make or break for NATO”. This is a daunting build-up, but it is one that has concentrated the minds of all those involved in developing the concept and achieving Full Operational Capability. As the Air Component Commander responsible for the air assets assigned to NRF 7 and 8, I have become intimately familiar with the challenges this involves. The process of preparation of those forces offered to the NRF by Troop Contributing Nations began some time ago, and the training and certification of these forces bring their own demands. Clarity of purpose, unity of effort and quality of endeavour encapsulate the aspirations of the Joint Commander. These are characteristics familiar to many of us who have been involved in air operations over many years and it is to these noble aims that this edition of the JAPCC Journal is dedicated. The response to the first edition of the Journal was overwhelmingly positive, and I honestly believe this second edition is even better. It is through the Journal and the JAPCC’s work on bare- base activation, strategic lift, distributed simulation training and other associated projects, that the organisation will make a valuable contribution to the effectiveness of the air contribution to the NRF. The message is clear: for those of you involved in NRF-related work, the JAPCC may well be able to offer help and advice that will make your job easier! The Journal of the JAPCC welcomes unsolicited manuscripts of up to 1000 words in length.
