Summary/Abstract: The constant and coherent effort to promote the national military interests on the part of the Military Representation has primarily consisted in obtaining favourable conditions for the participation of Romanian forces in NATO operations, in keeping with the current national possibilities. In support of the decision, the author points out that the personnel of the Representation draw up primary analyses of NATO requests for contributions to NATO forces in different theatres of operations, analyses that contribute to the substantiation of effective decisions at the level of the national military authorities. In order to clarify some issues of interest to the structures within the General Staff and the categories of forces, the Representation requires support from SHAPE military experts. In essence, the issues addressed concern force and operational planning at the strategic level, the definition of the national level of ambition, the affiliation and generation of forces, the conduct of the national integration process, the evaluation of the forces meant for NATO or the provision of support for carrying out high-visibility events.
