NATO

#

A group of students who are studying International Relations at the University of Lusíada and their professors visited the JALLC on 07 April 2017. The aim of the visit was to ensure that the students were aware of the NATO presence in Portugal and knew what the JALLC is and what it does.

The visit began with a Command Group Office Call at which Professor Dr Luís Saraiva, Professor Dr Vitor Fernandes, and Gonçalo Marques, a second-year student representative, met the JALLC's Chief of Staff COL Henrique José Pereira dos Santos.

COL Santos then welcomed all of the students to the JALLC. He gave a short presentation on its history, where it fits into the NATO structure, its mission, and its work on joint analysis, lessons learned, and training. This was followed by a presentation from

Ms Jodie Lazell, the Editor at the JALLC, which described how JALLC analyses complex, recurring, cross-command problems and supports NATO's Lessons Learned process. Ms Lazell set out the JALLC Project Approach, based on Prince 2™ methodology, which takes a project from the identification of the requirement by the customer through to final product and the evaluation of the process.

The visit concluded with the signing of the Book of Honour and a group photograph.
