All in all, this was outstanding event that attracted large numbers of people and provided a great platform for NATO personnel from different units and sections to interact with each other and meet their families. The relationship between the NCISG, CyOC, FMN and SHAPE J6 is one of mutual respect and now it is stronger than ever.
