Summary/Abstract: The participation of the Romanian Armed Forces in missions abroad, especially their results in NATO missions and within certain coalitions prove, in the author’s opinion, in addition to the image of a confident member and a real contributor to collective security, the fact that, at least as far as operational interoperability is concerned, we are placed at the same level with the other NATO member states. This participation would not have had the expected results without the support of a proper planning that, as the author points out, falls under the Strategic Planning Directorate. Based on specific regulations, the forces planning for the missions,abroad enables the use of force outside the Romanian state and, once the Supreme Council of National Defence approves it, becomes the milestone in this field to guide the other defence efforts.
