Summary/Abstract: Without any doubt, the “Old NATO” with its associated “heavy” integrated military command structure was extremely successful, but it had been built to cope with the threat posed by the former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. However, against the background of the fundamentally changed strategic landscape, with its increasingly multi-faceted, multidimensional, and trans-national risks and uncertainties, NATO not only had to review its concept for security in and around Europe, but it also had to review the tools it has at its disposal. In this regard, the new NATO military command structure was the tangible evidence that the political will to manage change, as first manifested at the London Summit in 1990, is being pursued by the Military Committee.
