We Fight Each Other To Fight Together !
One of the top priorities of NATO ALLIED LAND COMMAND is readiness in every sense of the word . Some of the staff officers from five different nations ( UK , FRANCE , GERMANY , USA and ITALY ) have been training together every week to practice the noble art of boxing ! Anyone who has watched or trained in this discipline will be aware of how challenging it is for the mind and the body . When time permits within the constraints of Headquarters Divisional staff work , the theatre gym has been the setting for a mixture of pad work , bag work , cardio , technique training and , best of all , sparring sessions between these friends and colleagues . Aside from the obvious benefits of improved fitness , relieving stress and multinational camaraderie , this extracurricular activity is first and foremost a combat sport . It seems somewhat appropriate therefore that the officers and soldiers of the NATO ALLIED LAND COMMAND Headquarters are training to be ready to fight if required and maintain their mental and physical readiness .
