The latest meeting between the ACT HQs and the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) to define the Extended Service Level Agreement (ESLA) for 2018 took place on 4–6 April in Lisbon at the JALLC facilities in Reduto Gomes Freire compound.
A total of 22 people from the Communication and Information Systems (CIS) and Financial ACT Branches, representatives of NCIA Demand Management and the local CIS Support Units for each HQ met over three days to define and agree the terms for how NCIA will deliver CIS support, both routinely as part of normal working days and in exercises and training periods.
It was a successful meeting that ended with a dinner at the Messe da Marinha in Cascais, an excellent facility that belongs to the Portuguese Navy.
