NATO Allied Maritime Command

NATO's Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM) is the organization responsible for coordinating naval operations and strategy among NATO member countries. Its role includes ensuring maritime security, defending sea routes, and responding to maritime threats such as piracy or illegal activity. Based in the United Kingdom, MARCOM provides strategic guidance, plans, and command support for naval forces across the alliance. It works to maintain open and safe oceans, improve cooperation among allied navies, and adapt to evolving maritime challenges to protect NATO’s collective interests at sea.
