IZMIR, Turkey – The senior leaders from the NATO Command and Force Structures paused for a group photo during the Allied Land Command (LANDCOM) Corps Commanders’ Conference (LC3) at the LANDCOM Headquarters here, March 12, 2019. U.S. Army Lt. Gen. John Thomson, Commander of LANDCOM, hosted the bi-annual LC3 for the key NATO leaders to develop a shared visualization of the role of the Land Forces and to discuss emergent challenges. For 70 years, the bond between Europe and North America made NATO the strongest military alliance in history and this bond continues.
