Posture Statement

Each year in the spring, Combatant Commanders are called to Washington to report on the state, or "posture," of their commands to the United States Congress. In these posture hearings, the Commander outlines the vision, priorities and progress that guide and distinguish the command, showcasing all of the hard work that goes on across EUCOM every day and the results those efforts deliver.

In his 2013 posture testimony Adm. Stavridis reported on the command's notable accomplishments and enduring challenges, offering his insights, plans, and recommendations to the nation's legislators that support EUCOM's mission and contribute to national security.

The 2013 posture testimony outlines EUCOM's strategy for defending the United States and outlines accomplishments and programs underway that support the command's priorities, engagements and initiatives, offering guidance as EUCOM works and grows Stronger Together!
