The Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC; Polish: Centrum Analiz, Szkolenia i Edukacji NATO-Ukraina)[2] is a joint NATO–Ukraine civil-military organization located in Bydgoszcz, Poland. It was officially inaugurated on February 17, 2025, and represents the first collaborative center of its kind between NATO and Ukraine.[3]
Organization and role
[edit]JATEC is part of the NATO Military Command Structure and is directly subordinate to the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT). The center is led by a Polish Brigadier General (Wojciech Ozga)[4] and is designed to analyze civil-military experiences from the Russo-Ukrainian War. Lessons learned are integrated into the strategies, policies, doctrines, and operations of both NATO and Ukraine to enhance interoperability and strengthen collective security.[5][6]
JATEC aims to improve NATO–Ukraine interoperability, support transformation in deterrence, defense, crisis prevention, crisis management, and cooperative security, apply lessons from ongoing conflicts to operational planning and strengthen NATO–Ukraine relations and provide long-term benefits for both parties.[7]
Location
[edit]Bydgoszcz is a strategic NATO site hosting several other facilities, including the Joint Force Training Centre (JFTC). The address of JATEC is ul. Szubińska 2, 85–312 Bydgoszcz, Poland.
Subordination and cooperation
[edit]JATEC is one of several institutions directly reporting to Allied Command Transformation (ACT), alongside the Joint Warfare Centre (JWC) in Stavanger, Norway, the Joint Force Training Centre (JFTC) in Bydgoszcz, and the Joint Analysis and Lessons Learned Centre (JALLC) in Lisbon, Portugal.[8]
These centers support ACT's efforts to transform NATO and collaborate with various national and multinational Centres of Excellence.[9]
