NORFOLK, VA – With 31 member nations, NATO is the strongest and most successful Alliance in history: this builds upon a resilient foundation of national, multinational, and international processes as the baseline of military deterrence and defence.

Highlights include the NATO Defence Planning Process, the NATO Warfighting Capstone Concept, and the Warfare Development Agenda, all of which are part of Allied Command Transformation’s deliverables to the Alliance.

Allied Command Transformation also includes Joint Warfare Centre (Norway), Joint Force Training Centre (Poland), and Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre (Portugal). Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation leads NATO-wide warfare development through several directorates:
