US: 2 NATO command posts for Europeans - Trump Administration: We need a European-led NATO
The United States will hand over two of NATO's key command posts - in Naples, Italy, and Norfolk, Virginia - to European officers, a military source said. The move is in line with U.S. President Donald Trump's demands that European nations take more responsibility for their own security. His administration has called for the military alliance, long dominated by the United States, to become a "European-led NATO."
As part of the command reorganization, European officers will take over NATO's Allied Joint Forces Command in Naples and Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, both currently led by American admirals, the sources said.
However, the US will retain the reins of three command posts slightly lower in the hierarchy but which hold significant responsibilities for operations - Allied Air Command, Allied Naval Command and Allied Land Command, military sources said.
Asked about the planned changes, a NATO official said: “Allies have agreed to a new distribution of senior officer responsibility across the NATO Command Structure, in which European Allies, including the newest NATO members, will play a more prominent role in the Alliance’s military leadership.”
The official said the decision was related to "planning for future rotations" and more details would be provided in due course.
The changes in command had previously been reported by French media.
