One of EUCOM's key activities is to strengthen NATO's collective defense and assist its transformation. This is accomplished through our primary mission of building partner capacity to enhance transatlantic security.

In part, this interoperability is accomplished by the EUCOM commander also holding the title of Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, the leader of NATO's military arm, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe, or SHAPE.

EUCOM participates in several exercises in order to advance interoperability with nations in the Alliance and prepare for missions in Europe, like Kosovo, and further, like Afghanistan and Libya.

EUCOM’s support to International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is largely focused on preparing these partner nations for deployment to Afghanistan. This includes dispatching mobile planning teams to assess partner nation equipment and training requirements and working with the country to develop a comprehensive pre-deployment plan.

    Commitment to 2014 and Beyond

    As the North Atlantic Council finished up the 25th Summit it is clearly evident that it was a summit of commitment. The Alliance made the commitment to complete transition in Afghanistan and to support Afghans in achieving a stable future. It also made the commitment to ensuring NATO is capable of dealing with 21st century challenges, as well as the commitment to further strengthen connections with our global partners. Most importantly, the Chicago Summit demonstrated our commitment to each other - the unbreakable bond between North America and Europe, which remains the bedrock of our security.
