Cohesion is the centre of gravity of NATO

Описание: 🛡️ "Cohesion is the centre of gravity of NATO" - With these words, General Markus Laubenthal takes on the role of SHAPE Chief of Staff (COS), highlighting the strength of unity in ensuring readiness across all domains. His commitment to advancing NATO capabilities underscores SHAPE’s vital role in deterrence and defence.

As we welcome General Laubenthal, we also express gratitude to Admiral Rühle for four years of distinguished service. His words remind us: “If you do not have people around you who are working hard and supporting you, you will fail”
