On 28 May 2018, Major General Lanza de Cristoforis, Deputy Commander of the Italian Joint Operations HQ, visited the JALLC in order to improve awareness and understanding regarding the NATO Lessons Learned Process and the JALLC's related roles and responsibilities. The way the JALLC is transforming and preparing for the future in support of the NATO Lessons Learned Community was also presented.

The visit started with an Office Call with Brigadier General Mário Barreto – the Commander of the JALLC – which he followed with a tailored briefing, during which Major General Cristoforis was able to discuss the Lessons Learned Processes, in NATO and Italy, with the JALLC's staff.

Major General Cristoforis departed with words of appreciation for the opportunity he had been given to gain a better understanding of the JALLC, and expressing the possibility for cooperation in the sharing of Lessons Learned among NATO nations. This idea was reinforced by the JALLC's Commander, who also stressed that the way forward is for the increase in cooperation between NATO and nations.
