Nato to expand command centres in Europe amid tension with Russia
[Independent] Nato is bolstering its command structures in Europe for the first time since the end of the Cold War amid signs of increasing tensions with Russia.
At a meeting in Brussels on Wednesday defence ministers agreed to create two new command centres, both aimed at upgrading the alliance’s ability to respond to a conflict in Europe.
One of the two command centres will coordinate troop movements in Europe, while the other will focus on maritime security in the Atlantic, with the aim of ensuring that US forces can cross the ocean so they can get to where they are needed.
