NATO’s new Multi-Corps Land Component Command (MCLCC) became operational at Mikkeli in conjunction with the Army Command on 1 September 2025.
Operating starts with the strength of c. 10 personnel. Over the next few years, the strength will increase up to c. 50 personnel. The MCLCC personnel will be from the Alliance’s member nations, including Finland.
The task of the MCLCC involves command and control of the Alliance’s land forces and synchronisation of national land forces’ operation in the Northern area. This means, among other, planning, preparing and directing the Alliance’s combined training exercise activity. In carrying out their work, the personnel will participate in the meetings and work both of the Army Command’s divisions and of the Alliance.
