On 4 April 2016, the JALLC received the visit of his Excellency the Ambassador of United States of America to Portugal – Dr. Robert A. Sherman.
Throughout the visit the JALLC Commander - Brigadier-General Mircea Mîndrescu - explained the way NATO does joint analysis and the role of the JALLC in the Alliance’s Lessons Learned process.

The U.S. Ambassador was offered an inside view of several ongoing military joint analysis projects being conducted by the JALLC, during which he interacted with the various project managers.

In the words of Ambassador Sherman:

"We can only get better and make the world safer if we are willing, in a transparent way, to evaluate what we have done and make improvements for the future. The Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre’s work is critically important to achieve that."

The U.S. Defence Attaché - Colonel Glenn Lemasters Jr. - accompanied the U.S. Ambassador during his Excellency’s visit to the JALLC.
