SHAPE welcomes new Deputy supreme allied commander Europe [1]

[]

Date: 2023-07 

It is a great honour to take over as the DSACEUR at such a pivotal point in history

"It is a great honour to take over as the DSACEUR at such a pivotal point in history," said Admiral Blount. "I'm immensely proud to be appointed to such a prestigious post. I look forward to serving Allied Command Operations (ACO) and the Alliance more broadly, building on the exceptional foundations laid by my predecessor, General Radford."

Most recently, Admiral Blount served as the Commander of NATO's Allied Maritime Command based in Northwood, the United Kingdom.

The position of DSACEUR serves as the second in command to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Christopher G. Cavoli. The role was first held by Field Marshal the Viscount Bernard Law Montgomery, who served as DSACEUR from 1951 until 1958.
