Senior Leadership

EUCOM image

Led by NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander, EUCOM relies on the broad perspective it gets from its cadre of senior leaders to include 14 Flag Officers and 14 civilians with comparable levels of experience. This combination of Army, Air Force and Marine Generals, Navy Admirals and civilians, to include U.S. State Department ambassadors, offers unique insights as EUCOM conducts military operations, international military partnering, and interagency partnering to enhance transatlantic security and defend the United States forward.

An agile security organization, EUCOM is able to conduct full-spectrum activities as part of “whole of society” solutions to secure enduring stability in Europe and Eurasia.
