December 15, 2005. Eight newspaper and radio journalists from southwest Germany got an inside view of how the NATO alliance is being transformed to meet 21st Century challenges during a special three day program sponsored by the U.S. Consulates General in Frankfurt and Munich and the U.S. Embassy in Berlin. The tour included a visit to NATO’s multinational AWACS unit in Geilenkirchen followed by meetings in Brussels and Mons with representatives from the U.S. Mission to the EU, a NATO Operational Headquarters, and the U.S. Mission to NATO.
Highlights included a working lunch with U.S., German, and International Secretariat officials focused on NATO’s out-of-area operations and a briefing by Ambassador Victoria Nuland, U.S. Representative to NATO. The reporters gained an inside perspective on NATO’s ongoing transformation as well as current operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and elsewhere.
