Lt. Gen. Sir Alexander Richard David Shirreff, NATO’s deputy supreme allied commander at NATO, visited Regional Command Southwest, Sept. 5-6. Shirreff visited Regional Command Southwest, Sept. 5-6, to see what he can do on a strategic level at NATO to help coalition troops in Afghanistan. “By coming here, by understanding the design for operations, the concept for operations, the way to fight is being carried forward, the huge successes and gains that are being made, together with some of the real tactical issues that are involved – I’m much better informed,” he said. “What I think I can do as a result of this is contribute to put together the force to take ISAF forward up to 2014 and then look beyond 2014, and really set the force for the future. Without coming out on the ground, I don’t think I’d get that sense as to what’s needed.”
