Notes<br />

The NATO LL Policy (Reference A) requires that all NATO commands<br />

and bodies execute their part in the NATO LL process and have their<br />

own internal LL procedures. The Bi-SC Directive 080-006 LL (Reference<br />

C) directs that all commanders in the NATO Command Structure<br />

establish a LL capability in their organizations. It states that executing a<br />

LL process is a command responsibility and each command and body<br />

under the two Strategic Commands will operate its own LL process.<br />

NATO HQ<br />

Initiating an LL process is a senior management responsibility. Within<br />

NATO HQ, the Deputy Secretary general and the Director General,<br />

International Military Staff retain authority to task the execution of a LL<br />

process to subordinate NATO HQ senior management. 6<br />

Military Committee Standardization Boards<br />

The Military Committee (MC) delegates tasking authorities for<br />

operational standardization, including development of NATO doctrine, to<br />

Standardization Boards. MC Joint, Maritime, Land, Air, and Medical<br />

Standardization Boards, together with their respective Working Groups,<br />

are responsible for the development of agreed operational and<br />

procedural standardization. They produce the Allied Publications and<br />

NATO Standardization Agreements. The Standardization Boards are<br />

supported by the NATO Standardization Office. Additionally, the<br />

Standardization Boards and their respective Working Groups can<br />

provide subject matter expertise to review lessons related to NATO<br />

doctrine and procedures as promulgated in the Allied Publications.<br />

Conference of National Armaments Directors Groups<br />

The Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD) and its<br />

subordinate structures are focused on the cost-effective acquisition by<br />

Alliance nations of military capabilities, by enhancing and encouraging<br />

interoperability and promoting technological cooperation. The CNAD<br />

groups include:<br />

<br />

NATO Naval Armaments Group<br />

NATO Air Force Armaments Group<br />

NATO Army Armaments Group<br />

The NATO Defence Investment Division supports the work of the CNAD<br />

and its groups. The groups are good POCs within NATO for lessons<br />

regarding capabilities and interoperability of equipment.<br />

Centres of Excellence<br />

analysis of issues. They also represent potential communities of interest<br />
