NORFOLK, VA – On June 27th, 2023, leadership from Allied Command Transformation received Admiral Sir Keith Blount, the designated Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, for a series of knowledge sharing discussions between Allied Command Transformation and Allied Command Operations. Admiral Sir Keith Blount will assume the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe position in July, and was most recently Commander of NATO’s Allied Maritime Command.

Supreme Allied Commander Transformation General Philippe Lavigne and Allied Command Transformation Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Guy Robinson welcomed the incoming Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Admiral Sir Keith Blount, to Norfolk, VA, NATO’s home in North America, for a series of collaborative discussions. Knowledge sharing focused on Strategic Plans and Policy, Capabilities Development, Joint Force Development, and additional priorities for Allied Command Transformation, with leadership from respective departments joining in discussions.

Allied Command Transformation is NATO’s Strategic Warfare Development Command, responsible for the modernization of military structures, capabilities, and doctrine to maintain and improve the military effectiveness of the Alliance. Allied Command Operations is NATO’s other strategic command, responsible for the operational planning, coordination, and execution of NATO’s military activities. Regular cooperation, coordination, and collaboration between Allied Command Transformation and Allied Command Operations enables the Alliance’s two strategic commands to work hand-in-hand to ensure NATO’s Military Instrument of Power is capable and effective for the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Admiral Sir Keith Blount is the designated Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, scheduled to assume the role in July 2023. He will be second in command to Supreme Allied Commander Europe, serving concurrently as the deputy head of Allied Command Operations. Admiral Sir Keith Blount joined the Royal Navy in 1984 and most recently held the position of Commander of NATO’s Allied Maritime Command; this will be the first time that the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe role will be held by someone from the Royal Navy.
