NATO Defense Planning Process

The NATO Defense Planning Process is a structured approach for member countries to determine their defense needs, capabilities, and contributions. It involves assessing threats, setting priorities, and developing defense strategies to ensure collective security. Countries plan and allocate resources to achieve agreed-upon capabilities, such as technology, troops, and equipment. This process promotes coordination, ensuring all members are prepared and can work together effectively in crises or conflicts, reinforcing the alliance's collective defense commitment.
