Germany, Netherlands to set up NATO command centre in Baltics: Berlin

Germany and the Netherlands will set up a joint tactical headquarters in the Baltics this year to command forces on NATO's eastern flank and help deter Russia, Berlin said Thursday.

The joint German-Dutch command centre known as 1GNC will "assume a command role on NATO's eastern flank, specifically in the region of Estonia and Latvia" in the coming months, the German defence ministry said in a statement.
