Allied Command Transformation Senior Enlisted Leader

29/03/2026

It has been a busy few weeks engaging with NATO and partner nations’ NCOs. The journey began in Romania, meeting with the Chief of Defence and engaging with Command Senior Enlisted Leaders (CSELs) across the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our discussions focused heavily on NCO training and development, specifically addressing the challenges of future warfare. We emphasized the urgency of modernization; innovation and new technology aren't "tomorrow’s problems"—they are today's requirements for combat readiness.

Next, I met with the Military Police community. The Military Police Centre of Excellence continues to do outstanding work, ensuring NATO MP CSELs are equipped with the most current operational intelligence.

Finally, I attended the inauguration of the International NCO Academy in Switzerland. While Switzerland has a long history of excellence, they are stepping into a much larger role. By integrating lessons learned and doctrine development into high-level leadership training, the Academy provides our leaders with the ultimate edge: the ability to out-think, out-pace, and out-last any adversary. Together, we are shifting our culture toward a "thinking and doing" model, developing NCOs who think like strategists and act like warriors.

"Adapting now to shape the skills of tomorrow."

This week ACT CSEL office launched the Multinational Enlisted Professional Development Seminar. NCOs from HQ SACT, NCIA, JATEC, and JFC NF engaged in discussions guided by a Mobile Training Team from NATO School Oberammergau. Lecturers from academia and industry were also invited to provide deeper insights into Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Technologies, and the importance of Digital Transformation.
Participants were not only receiving information but were actively encouraged to express their opinions and engage in solving dilemma-based scenarios. The solutions used in last decade are not efective anymore. The goal of this event was to inspire critical thinking and establish a transformational mindset—shifting from foresight to warfight.

Last week, I had the opportunity to interact with military counterparts from Sweden and Norway. As a member of the NATO community, it is essential to follow NATO's guidelines on NCO professional development, promoting interoperability among member states during exercises, deployments, and potential combat situations. The right education makes a significant impact on developing our leaders for the challenges of tomorrow. In today's context, it is crucial to exhibit enhanced professionalism and effectiveness. These countries have a profound understanding of comprehensive defense and are well-prepared.

The ongoing conflict, now spanning 40 months, underscores the unwavering commitment to self-determination. Citizens of all ages are actively engaged in defending their nation, for the right to use their national language and exercise autonomy.
During a recent week-long visit observed the resilience of these courageous individuals. The Airborne Assault Forces training center, which provides comprehensive training for various roles, including basic skills, specialized operations, drone operation, and squad leadership, was a key focus. Additionally, I assessed the NCO school of the Airborne Assault Forces, which is dedicated to developing platoon and company-level NCO leaders.
Furthermore visited the operational zone of the XX Army Corps, specifically the combat positions of the XX Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces, which is responsible for protecting the airspace over Kyiv, and they are performing their duties effectively.
Finally visited the NCO Academy within the National Defense University of Ukraine, where advanced leadership and CSEL courses are offered.
The Ukrainian NCO education and development programs are aligned with NATO standards, incorporating lessons learned from the current conflict. Numerous insights have been identified for future training and development initiatives such as improvements in trench construction or the integration of technology at the tactical level, which directly influences the overall war strategy. Given the dynamic nature of the conflict, with an active front line exceeding 1200 km, success requires a multifaceted approach, different tactics and weapon systems make different effects along the front line. Adaptability, innovation, and rapid implementation of changes are crucial for effective operations.

It was a privilege to address the senior Ukrainian NCOs attending the top level NCO Leadership Course at the National Defense University of Ukraine before they return to lead the soldiers. Regardless of the command level at which a senior NCO serves, the primary focus remains the same - ensuring the soldier, airman, or sailor receive relevant training and are prepared to fight and win.

Joint Force Training Center (JFTC) drives transformation through training! As on of the key NATO institution, JFTC delivers essential training to NATO forces by supporting current, future operations and warfare development.
Though modest size, JFTC has a wide-reaching impact.
Currently, JFTC is hosting Allied Command Transformation led exercise CWIX 25 (Coalition Warrior Interoperability eXploration, eXperimentation, eXamination eXercise). More than 3500 participants from the NATO and partner nations testing more than 570 capabilities across all five operational domains. Step by step they are moving closer to achieving the goals of Multi Domain Operations.

Poland has significantly increased its defence spending in recent years, contributing to the strengthening of NATO’s eastern flank. However, achieving full operational capability requires not just equipment, but also well-trained and qualified personnel—those who enable the effective use of technology.
A briefing from Senior Staff Warrant Officer Piotr Smuga, Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chief of Defence, on the current status of NCO development and the newly established Talent Management system within the Polish Armed Forces was useful. Quality military education remains essential to enhancing interoperability among all NATO member states.

Joint analysis, training and education center (JATEC) counting first months after opening, however there is no time for slow start. JATEC’s primary mission is to enhance cooperation between NATO and Ukraine. Simultaneusly, we are focused on improving our ability to swiftly implement the lessons learned from Ukraine at NCO level. Another great engagement with UKR CSEL Oleksandr Kosynskyi making our forces more lethal than ever before.

The discussions I had with Senior Enlisted leaders in Spain and Belgium last week were highly enriching. Developing Professional Military education and the NCO Corps is a critical aspect of creating strong and lethal forces. At the same time we have to overcome many challenges enforcing interoperability among the various NATO countries. It was a valuable opportunity to open the floor for NCOs to share their expertise and provide advice on how to rapidly improve.

One more class graduated from International NCO Advanced Leadership course in a Multinationational Environment.
NCOs might not have direct influence over procurement or the production of resources. However, efficient training and the development of skilled, disciplined soldiers, NCOs, who can hit target from the very first shot, can make a lasting impact on the readiness and effectiveness of the force.
Great leadership isn’t just about giving orders; it’s about fostering an atmosphere where innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration can thrive. Being able to listen, even when you have the authority to make decisions, is a quality that separates true leaders from those who merely follow the hierarchy.
It’s clear that right education and communication strengthening the military as a whole, and that will undoubtedly make a difference in the success of future operations.
