The U.S. Army has made significant changes within the last two years in order to increase capability and focus in the European and African theaters – as has NATO. Recognizing these changes, the Commander of Allied Land Command, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Roger Cloutier, invited the Commanders of the newly consolidated U.S. Army Europe and Africa Command, newly reactivated V Corps, and newly consolidated Southern European Task Force, Africa to his headquarters to discuss opportunities to harmonize efforts with his NATO land forces focused mission.
