THE PARTICIPATION OF THE ROMANIAN MILITARY STRUCTURES IN OPERATIONS UNDER NATO HEADQUARTERS COMMAND

Summary/Abstract: The greatest challenges of the 21st century are closely related to terrorism, the global threat against civilized states, the possible use of weapons of mass destruction and the presence of certain instability areas around the world. These factors can lead to tension, crises and conflicts which, by their implications, can directly affect Romania’s interests and, implicitly, the interests of the North Atlantic Alliance. History has proved that during most of the modern wars conducted for the purpose of national defence, the Romanian Military conducted military operations, usually in cooperation with allied forces. As far as the national security assurance is concerned, Romania also relies, as a member of the North Atlantic Alliance, on the Allies force. “In case of any armed aggression, the Romanian Military will conduct operations meant to reject it, both supporting and receiving the support of the Allies, according to the Washington Treaty”. This can be done based on the Article 5 provisions of the Washington Treaty, which states that: “any armed attack against a member state will be considered an attack against all the members of the Alliance”.
