Lt. Gen. William Garrett, EUCOM deputy commander, presents a coin to Sgt. 1st Class Nick Long, a spectrum manager for the Joint Cyber Center, part of the U.S. European Command's C4/Cyber Directorate.

Army Brig. Gen. Welton Chase Jr., director for U.S. European Command's C4/Cyber directorate, talks with Polish Armed Forces Col. Grzegorz Szmit, chief of branch, Mobile Deployable Communication and Information Systems, at Exercise Combined Endeavor's Distinguished Visitor Day, Sept. 8, 2014. The goal of Combined Endeavor is to foster stronger alliance and regional relations and security arrangements through C4 systems interoperability testing between NATO and Partnership for Peace nations’ strategic and tactical communication systems.

Twenty-nine nations and three international organizations participated in the Combined Endeavor Main Planning Conference. The conference deliverables assisted in designing a mission network that utilized an interoperable “bring your own devices model” and ensured the international coalition audience was able to participate. Ultimately, the mission network contributed toward constructing an exercise operational scenario across land, air and cyberspace domains.
