Major General Sanz had an Office Call with Brigadier General Mário Barreto—the Commander of the JALLC—followed by a presentation about the JALLC, its products and activities. After the briefing, Major General Sanz visited the JALLC facilities.

Major General Alfredo Sanz expressed his appreciation for the visit to the JALLC, saying:

“It was a great pleasure and honour to visit the JALLC, which excels in providing NATO with findings and recommendations to help it to carry out its work with full understanding and to benefit from Lessons Learned. I found this visit extremely useful and I encourage the JALLC to keep up the high standard and spirit they show on a daily basis.”
