[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Shape big.gif

Image:Shape big.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US led

i wondered if there any information on why its always US led? is it part of the Nato constitution that an american has to be in command? or has it just worked out that way? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.104.87 (talk) 18:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

These decisions on which nation gets which slot are the product of internal NATO horse-trading, from the 1950s to this day. Both SACEUR and SACLANT, it was agreed in the early 1950s, were to be American officers, and it has to be remembered that when the decisions were taken European forces were still in their rebuilding stages after World War II. The Chairman of the Military Committee and Secretary-General of NATO are always Europeans. Buckshot06 (talk) 10:35, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
