NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG)

A NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) is a framework used by NATO member countries to ensure that military forces can work together effectively. It establishes standards and procedures for everything from equipment compatibility to communication protocols. By adhering to these agreements, member nations can collaborate more efficiently during joint operations, training exercises, and logistics. STANAGs help improve interoperability among the diverse forces of NATO members, ensuring a unified response in times of crisis or conflict. These agreements promote trust and coordination among armed forces, enhancing overall security and defense capabilities.
