US Air Force General Tod D. Wolters has been sworn in as the top military officer of the 29-nation NATO military alliance.
The former pilot, who has served in Afghanistan and Iraq, became Supreme Allied Commander Europe at a ceremony today at NATO's military
headquarters in Mons in southern Belgium.
Wolters' term is likely to run two to three years. He will also be commander of U.S. forces in Europe. The post has always been held by an American military officer.
