His Majesty the King Felipe VI at the Command Post

His Majesty the King Felipe VI visited on May 25 the NATO Rapid Deployable Headquarters (HQ NRDC-ESP), at the "Jaime I" base in Bétera (Valencia), as well as the means and personnel of the Information Operations Regiment No. 1.

Once Military Honors were paid and after the welcome greeting from the military authorities and the command staff, he went to the Kabul Room, where he was shown the organisation and operation of the NRDC-ESP HQ. Felipe VI was then able to see the capabilities of the headquarters by visiting the deployable Command Posts, both the main and tactical, the Operations Centre and the Situation Centre, from where operations are controlled and monitored, as well as the videoconferencing capability between these two centres, which are thousands of kilometres apart, in the area of operations and national territory. In addition, His Majesty the King toured other cells such as the Joint Air Ground Integration Cell (JAGIC), Information Environment Activities (IEA) and the Cyber Electromagnetic Operations Center (CEMOC).

The visit to the headquarters concluded with the traditional group photo, the signing of the Unit Book of Honour and a meeting with military personnel.
