WEBVTT 00:09.270 --> 00:13.400 We're today we are standing up. The new land component command. 00:13.910 --> 00:16.940 Just or my shoulder you'll see out of green flag. 00:18.000 --> 00:21.060 It represents land forces soldiers. 00:21.810 --> 00:26.540 What they do in this alliance and the motto of this command is 00:26.540 --> 00:30.680 for the soldier. This is gonna be the centerpiece of NATO is 00:30.770 --> 00:34.310 land effort's going into this twenty first. Century. 00:44.170 --> 00:48.420 Me here in his nerd turkey is the way we're gonna come that the 00:48.420 --> 00:52.550 NATO command structure. In other words the commander control 00:52.550 --> 00:57.140 to direct NATO operations to all of that national forces that 00:57.140 --> 01:01.670 are provided. So it'll be a place where will form that connection 01:01.700 --> 01:05.960 between the command structure and the forces but secondly it's 01:05.960 --> 01:11.490 also gonna be the place where ideas are built for Les and the 01:11.490 --> 01:15.000 operations you know the motto love elsie. Sea lane. 01:15.000 --> 01:18.810 Compiling. Command is clear is for the soldier I like to think 01:18.810 --> 01:25.030 of it is also ideas for the soldier. So will be boson operational headquarters. 01:25.030 --> 01:29.750 But will also be part of that construction of ideas about lead 01:29.750 --> 01:30.880 warfare for the. Alliance. 01:41.000 --> 01:45.810 They will develop doctrine they will conduct training and exercises 01:46.020 --> 01:50.730 the will interact with the eat high readiness land headquarters 01:50.760 --> 01:55.680 around europe which are in Spain and greece and turkey and Poland 01:55.960 --> 01:58.720 you to leave the United kingdom france and self-worth. 01:59.290 --> 02:05.730 And thirdly this land component command will be capable of developing new. 02:05.730 --> 02:06.680 Well ideas. 02:07.280 --> 02:11.040 For the conduct of land operations. So that's a pretty big mission 02:11.040 --> 02:14.270 set for this commander. I'm confident general high just will 02:14.270 --> 02:15.530 take a gonna do very. Well. 02:25.340 --> 02:29.170 Well for starters here in is near will see out up pretty good 02:29.170 --> 02:32.420 number among that's three hundred we're selling the headquarters 02:32.650 --> 02:36.810 will be U.S. by and large soldiers we might have a few airmen 02:36.810 --> 02:41.030 were marine maybe a navy person. But this will be out soldier 02:41.030 --> 02:45.590 centrica may and in you'll see U.S. soldiers assigned here as 02:45.590 --> 02:49.860 part of the multinational formation of the headquarters secondly 02:50.180 --> 02:54.720 this headquarters will interact with U.S. army your up for training 02:54.780 --> 02:58.250 and exercises in places like Graf in the year and whole intel's 02:58.600 --> 03:02.680 and then thirdly in any NATO operations. We know Devi out good 03:02.680 --> 03:06.550 chunk of U.S. involved in it. So the land part of that would 03:06.550 --> 03:10.170 be driven out of this headquarters. So I'd say lots of interaction 03:10.170 --> 03:13.570 between the United States. Our soldiers here in europe in this 03:13.570 --> 03:15.070 Les component command. Turkey. 03:26.170 --> 03:29.630 A wonderful nation one of the twenty eight nations in the alliance 03:29.900 --> 03:32.030 that has stood with NATO. 03:32.570 --> 03:35.500 And NATO will always stand with turkey. 03:36.040 --> 03:40.630 We're very proud to be located here in is near at the Turks have 03:40.630 --> 03:44.720 the largest army in the alliance after only the United States 03:44.720 --> 03:48.790 of america and plus they're in our a part of the alliance where 03:48.790 --> 03:52.600 we see lots of activity in the love aunt in the Mediterranean 03:52.790 --> 03:56.180 so to perfect place to locate it. So I like to add to all the 03:56.180 --> 03:59.140 others things we talked about today. Thank you to turkey for 03:59.140 --> 04:01.030 hosting the laying component commanders were..
