Summary/Abstract: The adoption of a new NATO M structure of the Alliance’s Command and Control System from the modern functional one to the regular “J”-type divisions, both at strategic and operational levels. Reducing the number of allied HQs from 11 to 7, it has also been reconsidered the reliance on the NATO Force Structure, especially at tactical level, where the member states have to provide numerous Single Service Commands for NATO-led operations, in order to meet the Alliance’s Level of Ambition. Therefore, it has become necessary to describe they way in which the NATO Command Structure will be organised to lead allied forces into operations and the way in which those forces will be commanded and employed in order to establish a flexible and credible military crisis response mechanism to meet the challenges of the full range of NATO-led operations.
