Validation of Standards Relevance and Implementation Challenge: How to solicit information on STANAG implementation and relevance? Mechanisms: Implementation reporting by nations NDPP (Step 5): Feedback from nations on STANAG implementation Feedback from operations Feedback from NATO exercises / evaluation 6

Agenda 1. Holistic Approach to Standardization Validation of Standards Relevance and Level of Implementation 2. Standards Assessment and Validation in Exercises (SAVE) 3.
NATO Standards Assessment and Validation in Exercises (SAVE) Background: NATO needs standards to be current, relevant and valid Exercises and evaluations (e.g. NRF preparation events) opportunity for objective feedback on standards as key for interoperability SAVE requires primarily national experts 9
SAVE Framework Steps (1) 1. TAs & DTAs identify standards to be assessed/validated employing expertise in WG s, Panels, Syndicates, etc. employing Alliance & TA s established priorities 2. TAs & DTAs match selected standards to upcoming exercises (2-3 years before exercise dates) 3. TAs/DTAs identify task group, team or experts to conduct SAVE activities during the selected exercise 10
SAVE Framework Steps (2) 4. Team/Expert participates in Exercise Preparation Process selected exercise (EXSPEC Conferences, CPT, IPC, MPC, FCC) to ensure SAVE activities are smoothly integrated 5. Team/Expert develops SAVE plan for the given exercise and standard(s) 6. Team/Expert conducts the assessment/validation in exercise 7. Team/Expert delivers report on findings, through WG channels, to the TA/DTA 11
Long Term Exercise Planning 1. MTEP (Military Training and Exercise Programme) SACT leads MTEP development, management & execution Published annually, covers all collective training & exercises for 5 years Detailed info on activities scheduled for the first 2 years 2. SAGE (SACEUR s Annual Guidance for ETEE) Strategic level guidance & priorities for NATO E&T for 5 years Links NATO E&T activities to strategic objectives Indicates why and for what NATO is preparing forces 3. Annual Training Synchronization Conference 4. Evaluation Programming & Management Board 12
