Excerpt from transcript
MAJ. GEN. DUTCH REMKES (RET.), U.S. Air Force: We have been working with these coalition partners for many, many years, as you know. And NATO has certainly a very strong and capable command-and-control function. It's been that way for over 50 years. So, I don't see that as being a real challenge.
I think you are always going to see the U.S. involved in some way, whether it's on the sides or as part of the main operation. But as the president said, we're going to start handing out the reins to NATO and the coalition forces to carry on.
