It directs a small number of subordinate commands and has strong links with educational and training facilities, as well as with the Pentagon, other national entities and the NATO Force Structure in general. It is headed by the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, or SACT, who exercises his responsibilities from headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, the United States.
