Which command emphasizes partnerships and collective defense?

• A. INDOPACOM
• B. AFRICOM
• C. EUCOM
• D. CENTCOM

Answer: (C)

Partnerships and collective defense hinge on close cooperation with allies and interoperable forces. European Command is the U.S. military command that collaborates most deeply with NATO and European partners to deter aggression and defend allied territory. Its mission centers on building and sustaining alliances, improving interoperability, and conducting coordinated operations with European militaries under NATO, including the framework of collective defense under Article 5. This emphasis on alliance-building and joint defense across Europe is what makes it the best fit. By contrast, INDOPACOM focuses on the Indo-Pacific, AFRICOM on Africa, and CENTCOM on the Middle East and Central Asia.
