Despite his tight schedule on his way to the Munich Security Conference, starting later today, Germany's highest-ranked General Officer took his time and received the latest information about the current developments and JSEC's new role in the NATO Command Structure

On Order of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), JSEC will coordinate the preparation and execution of Reinforcement by Forces and logistics, in order to contribute to the Allies' ability to project and sustain combat power throughout NATO's area of responsibility.

In his second function as Commander of the Multinational Joint Headquarters, collocated with JSEC in Ulm, Knappe also briefed the ChoD about their current developments.

The visit had to be postponed from Thursday to Friday, due to the stormy weather conditions in Germany.
