The Allied Land Command Striving to Improve Interoperability Major General Uğur Tarçın Chief of Staff LANDCOM, with growing capacity, has finally declared Full Operational Capability (FOC) December 10th, 2014, and completed its second year since its activation on 30 November 2012 successfully. FOC was announced by L COM, Lt. Gen. Nicholson during Exercise TRIDENT LANCE 2014 (TRLE14), which was conducted at the Joint Multinational Training Center, Grafenwoehr, Germany. TRLE14 also marked the completion of our final steps of this two-year journey to FOC. In this regard, I thank all staff members for your great contribution and outstanding support. LANDCOM is now recognized as the authority of the Land community, focused on ensuring land forces interoperability, capability and synchronization in support of full spectrum Allied operations; promoting land doctrine development; facilitating land and joint interoperability; synchronizing NATO Land Forces training through CFI and LTRP and integrating training environment and events; maintaining the oversight of evaluation and certification of the NFS; as well as maintaining relationships with Partners, IOs and NGOs in coordination with SHAPE, ACT, and the HQ JFCs. LANDCOM will now concentrate on the training process in order to explore additional training opportunities in NATO and assist in prioritization and distribution of resources. We are becoming a more responsive, adaptable, and flexible in the face of ever changing and challenging world of today. By working and training together with our many Allied headquarters around the world, NATO strives to improve interoperability, so that when the time comes our soldiers will be able to fight together and win that should be required. We have a busy period coming up. Proper understanding, management and planning will lead to LANDCOM’s full implementation and smooth functioning as always. Teamwork and management is essential for continued success and we need to manage our resources more efficiently. Finally, our core ethos are; Responsiveness, Readiness, Credibility, Coordination, Cooperation and Comprehensive approach for solving problems as it could be formulated by R2C4. The Allied Land Command NCO Corner: CSM Focus Areas Chief Warrant Offier Daniel Moyer,Command Senior Enlisted hen I first arrived at Land Command last summer, one of our great young NCOs asked me what I would focus Won while I was in this billet. It was a great question. As a CSM, there are always many areas that deserve attention but it has to be narrowed down to what you consider as key areas for your given formation/command. Given its multi-national characteristics, NATO is a unique environment to work in. However, the main focus areas outlined on these pages could be used within a national environment as well. The Commanders vision and end state are always supported. The HQ staff is integral in putting these words into action, and as NCOs, we support both of these areas.

  • The U.S. Army in Europe Strategic Landpower in Action
    Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2015 The U.S. Army in Europe Strategic Landpower in Action The recent deployment of company-sized Army elements to Poland and the Baltic States offers a ru- bric for what . global landpower . may look like going forward. With a relatively small footprint, our Army achieves strategic aims by employing trained and ready units, fully prepared for joint com- bined-arms maneuver, that are adaptive and flexible, prepared to carry out a range of operations with partner nation forces. General Daniel B. Allyn, Vice Chief of Staff, Army Remarks at AUSA’s ILW Hot Topic “Army Networks,” 9 July 2015 Introduction The growing and emerging threats to the glob- al security environment—the velocity of instabili- ty—recently compelled the Department of Defense (DoD) to reexamine its capabilities and capacity for deterrence, sustained operations and reassurance of allies and partners. In contrast to projections in earlier strategic guidance, the regional security and stability in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific have deteriorated in the past several years in ways that were not anticipated. Potential adversaries sought to negate America’s strengths, exploit its vul- nerabilities and gain temporary or local superiority in one or more capability areas. Additionally, the more extreme conditions of volatility and instability.

  • National Recognition of Our Armed Forces
    Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF May 2008 Foreword Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP One of the greatest privileges I’ve enjoyed since becoming Prime Minister has been to spend time with the extraordinarily skilled and dedicated men and women of our Armed Forces, and to visit them on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their courage, their service and their professionalism make an immeasurable contribution both to building peace and stability around the world and to protecting our nation here at home. The Government is acutely aware of the debt we owe our Armed Forces, and our gratitude for the work they do in the service of our country is reflected in our recent initiatives on pay, on tax-free bonuses, on housing and on health care, as well as in our decision to commission a Command Paper on conditions of service and quality of life, which we will be publishing this summer. But beyond these individual initiatives, important though they are, it is vital for our serving men and women, especially those engaged in difficult and dangerous overseas campaigns, to know that the whole of Britain understands and appreciates the work that they do in our name. I believe the British public are fully behind the men and women of our Armed Forces, and people want to do more to pay tribute to them.
