The North Atlantic Treaty Organization will make the U.S. and Germany the locations for two new military headquarters that mark the first upgrade of the alliance’s command structure since the end of the Cold War, according to officials.
The U.S. will host a planned NATO command center focused on maritime security in the Atlantic and Germany will be the site of a center responsible for troop movements in Europe, the Brussels-based officials said on the condition of anonymity.
