Headquarters 1 German Netherlands Corps ready for NATO Response Force
LANDCOM, Izmir, Turkey visited Headquarters 1 German/Netherlands Corps (1GNC) to check 233 criteria in the fields of Command & Control, Operations, Administration and Support.
This exercise named ‘Noble Justification’ was the culmination of a long preparation period. In May this year, the NATO Response Force (NRF) 2015 Immediate Response Brigade from Arnhem, The Netherlands, was certified during exercise ‘Reliable Sword’. Soon after that, the in-house evaluation took place followed now by the practical part during exercise ‘Noble Justification’.
In his address to the roll call concluding the CREVAL, Deputy Commander Land Command, Lieutenant General Ed Davis stated: “I praise the 1 German Netherlands Corps for daring to make great steps towards the so much needed comprehensive approach, the approach to plan and conduct operations in close concert with International Organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations.”
He especially applauded the dedicated Command and Information Systems Battalion and the G-6 Branch of the Headquarters. “A class of its own and exemplary for NATO,” as he put it.
