![]() ![]() In NATO, a Standardization Agreement (STANAG, redundantly: STANAG agreement) defines processes, procedures, terms, and conditions for common military or technical procedures or equipment between the member countries of the alliance. Today it is known as the NATO Standardization Office. Shortly after the formation of NATO in 1949, the Military Office for Standardization was established to improve interoperability among Allied armed forces. By helping to achieve interoperability among NATO’s forces, as well as with those of its partners, standardization allows for more efficient use of resources and thus enhances the Alliance’s operational effectiveness. States need to share a common set of standards, especially among military forces, to carry out multinational operations. From military working dog training to submarine operations and everything in between, standards are a vital part of NATO operations.
