The Military Committee will also discuss the NATO 2030 initiative, along with its military implications and opportunities.
Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee, leads the Military Committee Conference. He will be supported in each session by General Tod Wolters, (Supreme Allied Commander Europe – SACEUR) and General André Lanata (Supreme Allied Commander Transformation – SACT).
The Military Committee meets, in Chiefs of Defence Session, twice a year at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, and once a year a Conference is held by an Allied member state.
