Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT)

The Allied Command Transformation (ACT), a military command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), intended to lead the military transformation of alliance forces and capabilities, underwent a change when France rejoined the NATO Military Command Structure in mid-2009--the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) became a French officer. The first French officer to serve as SACT was French Air Force General Stephane Abrial (2009–2012).
