Welcome to
Joint Analysis & Lessons Learned Centre (JALLC)

NATO's Lead Agent for Joint Analysis

The JALLC Building

In 2012, we commemorate the Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre’s (JALLC) tenth anniversary as NATO’s preeminent Lessons Learned organization and lead agent for Joint Analysis. From our roots as an organization steeped in maritime exercise analysis, the JALLC has transformed to support NATO’s expanding role in global crisis response operations.

With the success of Operation UNIFIED PROTECTOR (OUP) in Libya and the continued commitment to security and reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, 2011 was a momentous year for NATO. I am proud of the JALLC’s direct contributions to these efforts. JALLC provided over 9,000 man-hours of support to OUP: providing personnel to assist the Lessons Learned processes of NATO HQ and Allied Command Operations commands and conducting high-level reviews of the lessons that NATO and the Nations need to act on. Furthermore, in 2011 we provided direct analytical support to the Defence Planning and Policy Committee in the development of Defence Outputs Metrics and began a joint study with Harvard Medical School on military health care engagement in the civilian health sector.

In addition to our growing operational commitments, we remain focused on further development of the Lessons Learned Capability by expanding our Lessons Learned outreach activities to NATO Commands, and NATO and Partner Nations and by continued delivery of the quarterly NATO Lessons Learned Staff Officer Course in Sweden.


JALLC’s primary effort continues to go into producing high quality joint analysis of NATO issues that will inform decision-making at operational, strategic, and even political level. Our commitment to the customer enables us to deliver analysis reports that provide the insight necessary to enable NATO to address issues effectively and propagate best practices.

As we reflect back on ten years of success, we also look forward to our onward journey of being recognized as NATO’s lead agent for joint analysis!
