Earlier this week, Admiral Pierre Vandier received the command of Allied Command Transformation in the traditional change of command ceremony, attended by the JALLC’s own commander, 20240924 1.jpgCommodore Antonio Neves Correia. The ceremony is always a moment for both Commanders (outgoing and incoming) to reflect on either their time spent at HQ SACT on the one hand, or the time ahead on the other hand. In his inaugural speech, Admiral Vandier called for an extraordinary effort to modernize and that he is committed to provide the most efficient tools and procedures that will ensure our forces gain operational success in conflict and war. Noting the current unstable global security environment, NATO must maintain military credibility, he stressed.

Yesterday, following the change of command, and in order to properly introduce himself, the new SACT, General Vandier, invited the staff of the JALLC, the Joint Warfare Centre and the Joint Force Training Centre—the three joint commands (also known as the JJJs) that, together with HQ SACT, make up Allied Command Transformation—to join him in a more informal, virtual address that was broadcast live to each of the three commands. The staff got to hear a bit more about SACT himself, and his plans for the next years, as well as how the JJJs will play critical role in the wider objectives of ACT.
