On May 16 and 17 2018, representatives from the Swedish Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Division from the Swedish Armed Forces met with their JALLC counterparts in order to improve awareness and understanding regarding the NATO Lessons Learned Process and the JALLC's related roles and responsibilities, to share best practices, and to investigate how the level of cooperation between the two organizations might be increased. The visiting party from Sweden included LTC Martin Bodin, Chief of their Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Division, Commander Johan Idesjö, and two civilian analysts Mr Michael Aust and Ms Caroline Trulsson.

The JALLC and its Swedish partners have worked together already for many years regarding the now well-established and recognized NATO Lessons Learned Staff Officers Course. This course is held three times a year at the Swedish Armed Forces International Centre (SWEDINT) and sees both JALLC and SWEDINT staff working together to deliver high value training to NATO and National personnel regarding Lessons Learned activities and processes.

The visit confirmed the already deep professional cooperation between the Swedish Armed forces and the JALLC and both parties expressed their wish to continue and expand this valuable relationship.
