Ramon Trujillo, Senior Enlisted Advisor, 39th Strategic Signal Battalion. “This interoperability is critical for maintaining a strong and unified defense/deterrence posture in our area of operations. The visit underlines our commitment to enabling decision dominance at all levels of command within the European theater, ensuring seamless coordination and communication among allied forces.”
Lt. Col. Tyler Bradley, Operations Chief, 2d Theater Signal Brigade, briefed JFC Brunssum J6 key leaders on the brigade’s critical mission sets and areas of responsibility.

This key leader engagement highlights the U.S. and NATO partners’ determination to improve interoperability, and strengthen relationships and trust, while contributing to regional stability, and demonstrating U.S. commitment to NATO.
“This engagement is important because it contributes to strengthening our working relationship and collaboration, which are pivotal for our collective success,” said Major Ferhat Agcay, Operations Officer, NATO JFC Brunssum J6.
