On 01 October 2018, Vice Admiral Paul Bennet, Chief of Staff Allied Command Transformation, visited the JALLC in order to improve awareness and understanding regarding the role of the JALLC within NATO, the Lessons Learned Process and JALLC's contribution to the Alliance’s objectives.

The visit started with an Office Call with Brigadier General António Nascimento – the Commander of the JALLC – followed by a tailored briefing, during which Vice Admiral Bennet was able to discuss the Lessons Learned Processes and the outputs of the JALLC, deriving from its refocused mission.

Vice Admiral Bennet departed with words of appreciation for the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the JALLC, and expressing his willingness to support the JALLC as it moves forward in its new path as NATO lead agent for Lessons Learned. This idea of total commitment to the Lessons Learned process was reinforced by the JALLC's Commander, who also stressed that the way forward is for the increase in the sharing of lessons learned, by NATO and nations.
