		EUCOM's Strategic Theater Transformation (STT) Plan, which is a component of the Department of Defense's Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy, when approved, will permit EUCOM to transform itself in such a way as to be better able to meet the diverse challenges of this new century.
		EUCOM is working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Joint Staff, the service secretariats, the military departments, and EUCOM's service components in developing a viable plan to meet the security challenges of the 21st century.
		EUCOM is accountable to service members and their families, from whom much has been asked, and who have sacrificed greatly as the theater posture is adjusted.

		Geographically, EUCOM is ideally positioned to disrupt and prevent terrorists from using their lines of communication and methods of resourcing that are crucial to their operations and sustainment.
		EUCOM’s TSC strategy is derived from regional priority and policy themes stated in the Secretary of Defense’s Security Cooperation Guidance.
		EUCOM’s security objectives in Africa are to eliminate ungoverned areas, counter extremism, and end conflict in order to reduce the chronic instability that hampers and often extinguishes hope for political and economic development.

	DefenseLINK News: Wald Says Changed World Drives EUCOM Transformation
		And terrorism, the four-star general explained, is driving EUCOM's efforts to transform itself — in tandem with the Defense Department — to meet the challenges of the 21st century, as personified by the specter of terrorism.
		EUCOM "is embarking on a campaign" to take jointness "to a new integrated level," Wald explained, "by transforming from our current post-Cold War force structure and basing environment to one that is positioned to meet the unique challenges of the 21st century."
		Troops could be rotated in and out of EUCOM duty -- as part of whole units from locations in the United States -- on relatively short-term assignments, he noted, reducing the need for expensive permanent facilities, such as those in Germany.

		EUCOM works toward an end-state where the nations of every region are willing and able to defeat terrorist organizations within their borders, deny them sanctuary, and diminish internal conditions that give rise to terrorism, all without direct U.S. assistance other than intelligence and information sharing.
		EUCOM has shifted its priorities for many of these activities-in concert with TSC guidance from the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)-to regions where the potential for terrorist sanctuary is highest and the need to diminish the underlying causes is greatest.
		The concept is to focus EUCOM regional security cooperation activities in partnership with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to assist the littoral states in integrating their airspace and maritime surveillance and control systems; their national command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence systems; and their reaction and response forces.

		The two-day conference focused on EUCOM’s transformation and expanded area of responsibility as the command continues its evolution from the Cold War to the global war on terrorism.
		Though “transformation” has become a key factor in the EUCOM of the 21st century, the deputies - whose experiences at the command ranged from 1973 to 2000 - agreed that this was not a novel concept for them.
		Even at the height of the standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, EUCOM was already looking to expand its area of influence and prepare for a post-Soviet world, said Retired Gen. W.Y. Smith, deputy commander from 1981 to 1983.

		European Command, or EUCOM, isn't directly involved in operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, but plans to consolidate forces and shift them further south and east are in direct response to the threats developing from those conflicts.
		EUCOM headquarters will remain in Stuttgart, while both the Army and Air Force will remain in Aviano, Italy.

		One of EUCOM’s biggest current operations in Africa is the Pan Sahel Initiative, Kohler said, which is training and equipping troops in Mali, Chad, Mauritania and Niger so they can better patrol their own country and provide security that would deter terrorists, Kohler said.
		In addition to this program, EUCOM is also looking at ways to continue training African troops who can then be deployed as peacekeepers on the continent, thus freeing up the United States from having to send its troops, he said.
		But EUCOM learned it had a problem flying supplies from Europe because the distance was too far to reach in a cargo plane without refueling.

		Replacing the microwave transmitters will allow Eucom to increase the capacity on the DEB to an OC-3 bandwidth, which operates at a speed of 155 megabits/sec and is equivalent to the throughput of the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) in the United States.
