On 01 February 2018, the JALLC was visited by the Chief of Staff and Deputy Director of the NATO Communications and Information Systems Agency (NCIA), Rear Admiral Thomas Daum (German Navy). During the office call, the JALLC's Commander, Brigadier General Mário Barreto, and Rear Admiral Daum shared and discussed their strategic visions of NATO and the new Cyber Domain of Warfare. This was a particularly interesting visit for both NATO bodies as the JALLC is currently in the process of developing and improving the NATO Lessons Learned Portal and NCIA is a key NATO entity in which regards software development.

Another topic discussed was the upcoming NATO Lessons Learned Conference which will be organized by the JALLC in Lisbon during the month of March 2018. During the conference Allied and Partner nations' officers will have the chance to provide feedback about the tools and processes NATO is using within the Lessons Learned environment.

The visit ended with the Rear Admiral signing the book of honour, where he expressed the intention carry on supporting the JALLC in its Information Technologies requirements.
