Admiral Bauer went on to emphasize how Allies are now actively working to maximise the executability of the new defence plans. Militarily there are more steps to be taken to get where NATO wants to be for its collective defence.

Noting the importance of NATO’s warfighting transformation, Admiral Bauer spoke of the need to focus on effectiveness instead of efficiency in this new era of collective defence.

Tomorrow, Thursday 18th January 2024 at 15:15 there will be a joint press conference by Admiral Bauer, Supreme Allied Commander Europe General Cavoli, and Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Transformation General Badia. The joint press conference will be livestreamed on the NATO website.
