Today the NATO Rapid Deployable Corps - Italy is hosting His Excellency Peter McGovern, the Ambassador of Canada.

After a meeting with the representatives of the 12 contributing Nations of the Headquarters, the Ambassador attended a briefing held by Major General Giovanni Manione, NRDC-ITA Chief of Staff, during which he has been updated on the development of the current activities of NRDC-ITA and on the challenges that have followed the recent achievement of the Joint Capability.

During his visit Ambassador McGovern has expressed the will of his Nation to join the other 12 Countries already working at the “Ugo Mara” barracks, confirming that NRDC-ITA is constantly seen as an international center of excellence for the planning and conduction of NATO or EU-led operations.
