 In a joint effort, the United States and multinational partners are developing and implementing the Transatlantic Capability Enhancement and Training, or TASCET, initiative. The effort is shaped in close coordination with Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland. In today's complex, challenging security environment, we as an Alliance cannot afford to waste resources or to duplicate effort, and so TASCET gives us a great opportunity to better coordinate our efforts and to leverage assets from across the Alliance. Army Europe will take the lead on four TASCET objectives, working with allies to enhance training infrastructure, artillery capability, ground-based air defense, and intelligence and reconnaissance. We at U.S. Army Europe stand ready and willing to support TASCET, to enable the Alliance, improve interoperability, and assure our allies.
