As NATO faces an increasingly complex and contested security environment, the ability to move and sustain forces across Europe at speed and scale has never been more critical. In this interview, Brigadier Mark Comer, Deputy Chief of Staff Plans at NATO’s Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC), explores how the alliance is developing its reinforcement and sustainment networks.
Discover how JSEC is drawing lessons from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, tackling the challenge of securing and dispersing strategic stockpiles, and aligning cross-border movement corridors across 32 nations.
With NATO’s deterrence and defence responsibilities growing, Brigadier Mark also previews Steadfast Defender 2027 — the alliance’s next major exercise to prove reinforcement at scale and demonstrate its ability to protect one billion citizens.
