General Henault praised the "quality over quantity" approach by the Slovenian Armed Forces, arguing that this concept of specialization, in areas such as decontamination, was in-line with the long-term objectives of NATO. "The importance of the Slovene Armed Forces is considerable, as it is specializing in those areas where it can contribute significantly to NATO's overall capability and efficiency", remarked General Henault.
