The Allied Land Command
COMMANDER ’ S MESSAGE
mander . To this end , LANDCOM will find itself deployed to Stavanger , Norway next year for exercise Trident Javelin 2017 . This will be a great opportunity to test and capture critical lessons learned for MJO (+) doctrine , standardization and interoperability . We have already begun our own internal training as we start on glide path to this exercise . I look forward to this exercise and working alongside many of you as LANDCOM is evaluated . It will be another great opportunity to continue to fortify and grow this team of teams that comprises the Alliance .
Lastly , I wish to take a brief moment and thank everyone for the collaborative effort and undertaking as we continue to work through Graduated Response Plans ( GRPs ). I have received initial briefings on GRP 3 and am once again incredibly impressed with the professionalism and skill of both my staff and your teams of planners who contribute to these planning efforts . We could not execute this without your support . I look forward to starting work on GRP4 and the continued level of collaboration . Additionally , we must continue to ensure we inform and nest with both SHAPE and the two Joint Headquarters as we move forward with Enhanced Forward Presence , MJO (+) concepts and doctrine , Tailored Forward Presence , and NATO Strategic Direction South to mention just some of the vitally important work that will continue moving forward . This work serves as a reminder to all of the cohesion , determination , and readiness of the Alliance to respond in order to fulfill the outcomes of Warsaw – Deter and Defend and Project Stability . You and your teams play a vital role in ensuring that the ambitions and aim of Warsaw in fact remain reality and not hollow words .
In closing , I will start where I began . I am incredibly confident in this team of teams because of your demonstrated competence , capability and capacity . I am extremely proud to be a member of the Alliance and your advocate . Our diversity is our strength and together we can accomplish any mission , anywhere , anytime .
For the Soldier !
