There are two strategic commands in NATO: Allied Command Transformation and Allied Command Operations.
Both are part of the NATO Command Structure and composed of permanent multinational headquarters distributed geographically across Allied territory. The NATO Command Structure offers the opportunity to all Allies to participate in, and contribute to, the command and control of all Alliance operations, missions and activities across all military domains.
Allied Command Transformation is NATO’s Strategic Warfare Development Command. Its mission is to contribute to preserving the peace, security and territorial integrity of Alliance member states by leading the strategic warfare development of military structures, forces, capabilities and doctrines.
From its inception in 2003, Allied Command Transformation has demonstrated the importance of transformation and development as continuous drivers for change – change that will ensure the relevance of the Alliance in a rapidly evolving and complex global security environment.
Allied Command Transformation is organized around four principal functions:
- Strategic Thinking;
- Development of Capabilities;
- Education, Training and Exercises; and
- Cooperation and Engagement.
