According to the Ministry of National Defense (MApN), the visit of the two military leaders underlines the firm commitment of Romania and NATO to strengthen regional security and to strengthen the deterrence and defense posture on the south-eastern flank of the Alliance.
General Gheorghiţă Vlad and General Alexus G. Grynkewich will hold, in Sibiu, from 11:00, press statements at the HQ MNC-SE headquarters, followed by a question and answer session.
U.S. Air Force General Alexus G. Grynkewich took over as NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) on July 4, 2025, in a ceremony attended by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
Grynkewich, nicknamed “Grinch”, succeeded US General Christopher G. Cavoli as the 21st SACEUR commander, EFE and Agerpres news agencies report.
Traditionally, this position is held by a four-star general in the United States Army. The head of the SACEUR is also the Allied Command Operations (ACO) commander, responsible for the planning and execution of all NATO operations.
