Key events

6 February 2026

Allies agree a new distribution of command-structure leadership

The North Atlantic Council agrees a new distribution of senior officer responsibility in NATO's command structure: the United Kingdom takes Joint Force Command Norfolk, Italy takes Joint Force Command Naples, Germany and Poland share Joint Force Command Brunssum on rotation, and the United States takes Allied Maritime Command while retaining Allied Land Command and Allied Air Command. The Supreme Allied Commander Europe remains a United States post. NATO states the change will be implemented incrementally in line with scheduled personnel rotation.
