Summary/Abstract: Romania became NATO member on 29 March 2004, and EU member three years later, on 1 January 2007. The actions taken at national level to ensure the interoperability between the Romanian Armed Forces and the NATO/EU member states armed forces have included a broad range of conceptual and operational steps mainly taken in order to achieve the wide restructuring and modernisation of the military body, a complex process aimed at acquiring an institution with high standards in terms of modernity and efficiency. In the author’s opinion, the standardisation development and implementation process in the Ministry of National Defence is the main means of achieving interoperability. The implementation of operational standards has led to the development of numerous specific normative documents, doctrines and manuals that support forces training.
