Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) Engages with BALTDEFCOL

On January 21, 2025, the Baltic Defence College (BALTDEFCOL) hosted a significant roundtable event, bringing together faculty members and students from the Joint Command and General Staff Course (JCGSC).
The discussions focused on the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a coalition of Northern European NATO nations dedicated to enhancing regional security and operational cooperation.

The roundtable featured distinguished speakers who provided invaluable insights into the role and strategic importance of the JEF. The esteemed panel included Group Captain Jonathan Eastlake, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Guselnikov, and Lieutenant Colonel Uldis Gūtmanis. The session was expertly moderated by Colonel (ret) Dr hab. Zdzisław Śliwa, ensuring a dynamic and engaging discussion that covered various facets of JEF operations and strategic considerations.

Roundtable discussions are crucial in broadening the knowledge of students and faculty members. These sessions provide a platform for interactive learning, fostering a deeper understanding of contemporary security challenges, operational strategies, and multinational defence collaboration. The exchange of ideas among experts and military professionals allows for refining strategic thinking and developing innovative approaches to regional security concerns.

Beyond the roundtable, JEF representatives also engaged with the Department of Military Studies, further strengthening ties between BALTDEFCOL and the Joint Expeditionary Force. This engagement underscored the importance of continued collaboration and professional development within the academic and military communities.

The visit of the JEF delegation to the BALTDEFCOL exemplifies the institution’s commitment to providing its students with real-world insights and opportunities to engage with leading military professionals. Such initiatives reinforce BALTDEFCOL’s role as a premier educational institution, preparing future military leaders for the evolving security landscape of Northern Europe and beyond.
