General William F. Kernan (left), US Army, Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT), paid his initial visit to SHAPE on 16-17 May 2001. The purpose of the trip was to meet with Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), General Joseph W. Ralston, US Air Force, and his staff. Deputy SACEUR, General Sir Rupert Smith (right), UK Army, hosted the SACLANT party from Norfolk, Virginia, USA on 17 May. They were briefed on SHAPE issues and participated in discussions with SHAPE senior officers in order to familiarize them with SHAPE and its staff.
