TLP is a multinational headquarters based at Los Llanos Air Base, Albacete. We are composed of military and civilian personnel from the 10 NATO nations participating in the Programme. Our main objective is to increase the effectiveness of our air forces in the field of tactical leadership and conceptual and doctrinal initiatives in support of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (SACT) and National Defence Forces.

Throughout our 44 year history in Germany, Belgium and now in Spain, TLP has become the focal point for NATO’s Allied Air Forces tactical training and development of knowledge and leadership skills, necessary to face today’s air tactical challenges. This is being achieved with the effort, dedication and professionalism of our staff, TLP prides itself in having a diverse and talented work force.

TLP is a programme of excellence and will remain aligned and relevant. We are ready to adapt to the pace of change and to achieve our goals we follow a 5-pillar strategy based on:

•  The integration of 4th, 5th, and Xth Generation platforms
•  The adoption of the Agile Combat Employment concept
•  Live-Virtual-Constructive training
•  A state-of-the-art Contested-Degraded Operations environment
•  The introduction of Joint All Domain factors in the challenging air scenarios, in both the Academic and the Flying courses.

Our military community includes the families of TLP personnel and encourages their participation in the Headquarters as well as in Albacete community life, throughout a variety of activities supported by TLP through the Community and Culture Foundation (CCF). The CCF is aimed to promote morale, international team spirit and allow TLP and their families the opportunity to relate to the local culture and environment through the organization of social events. At TLP we are honoured to live in Albacete and be part of the local Spanish communities.
