Standardization Agreements (STANAG)

Standardization Agreements (STANAGs) are agreements among NATO member countries to align military procedures, equipment, and standards. They ensure interoperability, meaning forces from different nations can work together effectively by using common language, protocols, and systems. This coordination enhances joint operations, simplifies logistics, and improves response times during missions. Essentially, STANAGs create a shared framework that promotes efficient collaboration and compatibility among allied armed forces.
