= Secretaries General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization =

A history of  '''NATO secretaries general'''.

Alongside the '''supreme commander''' (always of the [[UnitedStates/ArmedForces|U.S. Armed Forces]]) and the '''chair of the military committee''' (also a military position, but not necessary of the ''U.S.''), they lead the alliance. Naturally, the secretary general is the highest civil servant and diplomat of the alliance.
