Broad area of activity
Norfolk, Virginia, with training and warfare centres in Europe.
Notable history
NATO's second strategic command, responsible for transformation, training, doctrine and lessons learned. Several of its subordinate centres sit physically inside this theatre.
Strengths
It is where the alliance changes rather than operates, and its centres at Bydgoszcz and Stavanger put that work inside the theatre it concerns.
Limitations
Not an operational command. Nothing it does establishes a command relationship over any formation.
