The world has changed dramatically since the Washington Treaty of
1949 established the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The
context of nontraditional threats, operational fatigue, increased
membership, and fiscal austerity provides an opportune moment to
assess Allied Command Transformation's (ACT) role in supporting
Alliance-wide transformation. As one of NATO's two strategic
commands, ACT has existed for eight years with the following three
strategic goals: provide appropriate support to operations, lead
NATO military transformation, and improve relationships,
interaction, and practical cooperation with partners. Key successes
include improved doctrine, better training methods, positive
feedback from operational support, and an enhanced capability
development process. Despite these gains, within the context of new
threats and constrained resources, there is room for improvement.
ACT can demonstrate its relevancy by doing four things. First, ACT
should increase cooperation with Allied Command Operations to
enhance NATO's mission effectiveness. Second, ACT should champion
capability development by promoting interoperability,
interdependence, and the comprehensive approach. Third, ACT should
continue studying emerging issues like counterterrorism, failed
states, global commons, energy, etc. as NATO's military think-tank.
Finally, ACT should actively market its products to the nations.
