JATEC was inaugurated in February 2025 in Bydgoszcz, only six months after the Washington Summit decision. While JATEC is still operating with limited, but steadily growing resources, it is already bringing value to the Alliance and to Ukraine.
COMMAND GROUP
Commander
The Commander provides leadership for the Centre to fulfil its mission. Under the Commander’s direction and guidance, the Centre established a structured program of work across five main lines of effort: 1 – warfare development; 2 – C4 & digitalization; 3 – human dimension & education; 4 – total defence; and 5 – transformation & interoperability. This broad approach reflects the reality of modern multi-domain warfare and reinforces JATEC’s core purpose: gathering insight from Russia’s war against Ukraine and providing actionable recommendations for the Alliance and Ukraine to transform.
Deputy Commander / Chief of Staff
The Deputy Commander / Chief of Staff leads and coordinates all aspects of the Staff’s work in support of the Commander, including tasking, direction and guidance, cross-staff support, oversight and management of resources and the development, and delivery of training and experiments. He deputises the Commander in his absence.
