This paper argues that NATO must once again transform its military command and force structures. According to the author, in the aftermath of the Prague Summit in November 2002, the efforts of the various staffs and agencies within and without NATO are focused on three broad areas of change: new capabilities, new members and new relationships. Further, he argues that NATO must transform its military command structure in order to adapt to the changing nature of strategic requirements and threats; gain greatest advantage from information technology growth; and increase its effectiveness and efficiency in managing the deployment and sustainment of its forces across the spectrum of conflict.
