The French Rapid Reaction Corps Headquarters (RRC-FR HQ), based in Lille, France, has been assessed as NATO Response Force Land Component (NRF-LAND) for the year 2022.

The assessment was conducted by an evaluation team from NATO Land Command (LANDCOM) based in Izmir, Turkey, led by Brigadier General José María Martínez Ferrer (DCOS PLANS). Lieutenant Colonel Luis Romay Hernanz, head of evaluation of the Protection area, and Brigadier Domingo Miguens Piñeiro also participated in the evaluation.

Once again, military personnel from the Spanish contingent in LANDCOM hold relevant positions in one of the main missions assigned to LANDCOM, such as the evaluation of the units of the "Nato Force Structure".

Throughout the evaluation process, the RRC FR HQ proved to be fully capable of assuming and performing its new duties as NRF-LAND 2022.

The process, which began with the evaluation of the planning phase in March, ended with the evaluation of the execution phase of exercise STJU21 at the Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) in Stavanger, Norway, where the RRC FR HQ was deployed.
