NATO's new Atlantic Command was declared operational in a ceremony in Norfolk, Virginia on Thursday.
Not quite the old SACLANT but an interesting, and perhaps ominous development, none the same. https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/natos-n ... erational/

The (less glamorous) Logs Command is a clear recognition of the fact that "the" Russian threat operates on internal (shorter) lines than the response - starting with beefing up deterrence where trouble is felt to be brewing - by the three Joint Commands can be
" a command for support and logistics in Ulm, Germany. Joint Force Command Norfolk joins NATO’s two existing Joint Forces Commands, located in Brunssum, Netherlands, and Naples, Italy. "
Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.
