WIESBADEN, Germany \u2013 Supreme Allied Commander, Europe and Commander, United States European Command Lt. Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich, delivered the opening keynote address on the second day of the first-ever LANDEURO<\/a> symposium, July 16-17.<\/p>\n

The top NATO and U.S. commander in Europe opened by highlighting defining moments throughout NATO\u2019s history from Germany\u2019s accession to NATO seventy years ago, to where we are today, a decisive moment in time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the long arc of NATO history over the past 75-plus years, there\u2019s a few decisive points in time that really mattered,\u201d he said. \u201cOne was the end of the Cold War, when NATO had to find itself and bring stability to a continent. A second came after the attacks on September 11, when the Alliance invoked Article Five for the first and only time to defend the United States. And if you go even further back\u2014seventy years ago\u2014the German accession into NATO was an absolute seminal point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grynkewich reminded the audience that war persists on our doorstep in Ukraine, and while we seek peaceful resolution, Russia will likely remain a threat, we must simultaneously counter threats on multiple fronts from the Middle East to the Indo-Pacific.<\/p>\n

On that point, Grynkewich said the Alliance is well positioned for such global challenges<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still a lot to do but we are on the right path. One of the places we are on the right path is exercising,\u201d he said referring to an image from Steadfast Deterrence, a NATO led exercise in 2025 with participation of 32 Allies, 90,000 troops over 50 ships, over 80 aircraft, and over 1,100 combat vehicles, an unprecedented exercise in maneuver warfare and in command\/control.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we continue to learn and figure out how to leverage emerging technology to achieve strategic affects, the pace and cycle of innovation is increasing and we must keep up with it,\u201d he continued, highlighting the historic commitment of allies contributing 5% of GDP during the recent NATO summit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is nothing like combat operations to drive innovation,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cThe challenge now isn\u2019t the commitment, the challenge is taking that commitment and turning it into real capability and capacity on the battlefield.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is more energetic when it comes to delivering capabilities than the [NATO] Secretary General,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In closing, Grynkewich urged the leaders in the room to make the necessary innovations happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge each of the chiefs of defense, land force managers and every leader to hold themselves to account for that, especially in an era where we have global threats that are persisting. There\u2019s absolutely no time to waste.\u201d<\/p>\n
