On 25 May 2016, representatives from the UK’s HQ Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) Maritime Staff Element visited the JALLC during their deployment to Portugal for Exercise ARRCADE DREADNOUGHT 2016. The HQ ARRC delegation was welcomed by Group Captain Adrian Hill, Head of the JALLC's Exercises, Training, and Experimentation Division.

During the visit, representatives from both organizations were able to exchange information and ideas particularly with regard to the HQ ARRC’s experience as a NATO Force Structure (NFS) Joint Task Force (JTF) HQ. The presentations and ensuing discussions were of particular relevance to the JALLC's ongoing project to develop an NFS JTF HQ Handbook to guide NATO’s Graduated Readiness Force (Land) (GRF(L)) HQs in implementing the NFS JTF HQConcept. The visit also presented the opportunity to develop and further strengthen the JALLC/HQ ARRC mutual relationship.
