The EUMC is composed of the Chiefs of Defence (CHODs) of the Member States, who are regularly represented by their permanent Military Representatives (Mil Reps).
The EUMC Chairman, General Patrick de Rousiers and the Director General of the EU Military Staff, Lieutenant General Wolfgang Wosolsobe, along with the other senior officers were given a briefing by Rear Admiral Tarrant and other members of his staff.
