Last week, the Permanent Representatives of Poland, the Unites States and the UK at NATO Headquarters, visited the Multinational Corps Northeast.

Sławek Szefs reports that their purpose was to check the manner in which political decisions of NATO regarding the Szczecin-based MNCNE (manned by personnel from 21 countries, including two non-Alliance states) are being implemented in practice.

“This HQ is at a much higher level of readiness and is prepared to do its job, which is to command and control this [rapid reaction] force of 30 thousand,” Douglas E. Lute, the US Ambassador at NATO, told a press conference in Szczecin.
