General Petr Pavel 🇨🇿 ends tenure as Chairman of the Military Committee, 29 JUN 2018

Three years after he took up his position as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, General Petr Pavel, from the Czech Republic’s Armed Forces, handed over the highest NATO military position to his successor, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, former Chief of Defence Staff of the British Armed Forces.
General Pavel was elected by the NATO Chiefs of Defence in 2014 during the Military Committee Conference in Vilnius, Lithuania. He took up his post on 26 June 2015, when General Knud Bartels (Rtd) ended his term. Being first and foremost a soldier, General Pavel started his last day as Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, in the presence of NATO and Partner Military Representatives, by paying his respects to all those men and women who have paid the ultimate price and laid a wreath at the NATO Memorial to the Fallen. General Pavel also took the opportunity to plant a lime tree, the national tree of the Czech Republic, on the grounds of the NATO Headquarters.
Over the last three years, General Pavel led the Military Committee through a period in the Alliance’s history very much characterized by adaptation. General Pavel first worked with the Military Committee on implementing the decisions made at the 2014 Wales Summit, namely the Readiness Action Plan, the Assurance and Adaptation Measures, Forward Presence and increased Air Policing. The intense period of work also included the enhancement of the Alliance’s Deterrence and Defence posture, the development and implementation of the Projecting Stability initiative, the adaptation of the NATO Command Structure, and support of NATO’s missions and operations, in particular the NATO-led Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and KFOR in Kosovo.
During his last Military Committee in Permanent Session, General Pavel remarked that when he first started his military career, Czechoslovakia was part of the Warsaw Pact. Never did he imagine, that he would one day be elected by the Allied Chiefs of Defence and become Chairman of the NATO Military Committee. He thanked the Military Representatives for their dedication, hard work and support. He acknowledged that while it was not always easy to achieve consensus, the trust in the Alliance and its core values guaranteed that unfettered military advice was always provided.
“It has been a privilege to visit most of your countries and those of our Partner countries. I learnt so much during those visits. We have done a good job moving the Alliance forward, but there is more to come. The Military Committee is a great band of brothers who have always held frank and open discussions. If we keep in mind and support the core values of the Alliance, then we can always deal with any differences or disagreements. The role of this body will always be to provide fair military advice,” said General Pavel.
The Chairman of the Military Committee is NATO’s senior military officer, by virtue of being the principal military adviser to the Secretary General and the conduit through which consensus-based advice from NATO’s 29 Chiefs of Defence is brought forward to the political decision-making bodies of NATO. He represents the Military Committee at the North Atlantic Council (NATO’s highest political decision-making body), and other high-level political meetings, such as the Nuclear Planning Group, advice on military matters when required.

This is how respect is made. Not with fear, criticism, blaming others for your mistakes and telling others that you are the best but rather with continous well done work that speaks for yourself. What an icon he is, what a respected decent gentleman. He really can be a leader that will unite people. I wish that he will become future president of Czech Republic.

There’s no more important moment in history of our country.🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 Petr Pavel is certainly the most charismatic and intelligent person I’ve ever seen for entire my life. He’s able to represent our country, and remove us of hopelessness and endless disappointments.

[@kacp6485]

Mě taky připadá jako skvělý kandidát a jako dobrý člověk, ale asi není potřeba to tak přehánět :-D myslím že za svůj život jsi viděl i hodně jiných inteligentních lidí, a rozhodně v historii naší země jsou i důležitější momenty!
Snažme se nebýt jako ta druhá strana :) neadorujme člověka do pozice nadčlověka, a držme se reality. Vždyť tady máme to štěstí, že ani za střízlivou realitu se nemusíme stydět!

[@Everythingisok475]

@@kacp6485 Rozhodně z nikoho nechci dělat nadčlověka. Ovšem si velice vážím toho, že v náší republice máme i lidi, kteří dokáží svým reprezentativním chováním dodávat lidem naději, a nejenom imbecily, co se shromáždí v centru Prahy kvůli tomu, že jim zavřeli hospody. A pán Generál Pavel je jedním z těch lidí, kteří dokážou povzbudit, a dodat lidem odvahu a víru v lepší budoucnost naší země. A my jako národ máme ohromné štěstí, že se rozhodl kandidovat, a obzvlášť v předvolebním období si zaslouží velikou podporu.

[@lampionmancz]

If we consider history of the Czech Republic sure, but I think that if we're talking about the Czech lands there are a lot more historically important things. But yeah I do agree he is a very charismatic, inteligent and respectfull person.

[@Everythingisok475]

@@lampionmancz In my opinion every moment of Czech Republic/lands or any other country is important because it has lots of consequences on history. And I’m glad we didn’t fail at least this time. But the disaster is not over ‘cause Babish is gonna be a premier. And he hasn’t small chances for achieving that.

@@Everythingisok475yes kamo, to je nejvic v pici..

Ale volici babise nedokazou chapat problemy komplexne a vidi to jen tak, ze za Babise bylo lip a ted je hur. Taky se bojim tech voleb do PS, ale to je tusim az za dva roky, tak asi nema cenu se tim ted trapit a je moudrejsi byt myslenkama v pritomnosti a uzivat si to, jakej frajer je nas prezident po takove dobe. Ja jsem porad stestim bez sebe, ze vyhral Pavel. Treba to taky prispeje k tomu, jakym smerem se budou hlasy pri volbach do PS ubirat, ale to je mozna naivni myslenka.. kazdopadne, uzivejme si prezidenta co ted mame a v ramci moznosti vladu, co ted mame.

Pokud Vám někdo z voličů vytkne , ze jste Generál a jiné připomínky , tak jen řeknu , ze Francie měla také svého prezidenta Generál De Gól a měli ho všichni rádi i my jsme měli svého prezidenta Generála L. Svobodu ten měl v té době tizivou situaci . Poslušnost jiné moci.
