NATO’s inherent diversity at times inhibits close coordination. For operational logistics to be efficient enough to optimize force application, a coordinating agency is required to ensure sourcing, transportation to specified destination, correct accounting and meeting timelines, among a host of other conditions
To meet the diverse requirements, a NATO command to coordinate support for Ukraine will be operational in Germany from September, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday (July 18).
“We have agreed to establish a command to coordinate and provide security assistance and training for Ukraine,” he said on arrival to a European Political Community meeting in Britain.
“That command will be operational in September. It will be 700 personnel in Germany… and it will provide the support and the security assistance to Ukraine and coordinate the efforts of NATO allies,” Stoltenberg said.
