Doctrinal Development

NMIOTC hosts usually every year the ATP-71 WS and occasionally other related WS with MSO subjects (e.g CME, Biometrics, etc).These Workshops are an opportunity for the NATO Maritime Community to consider and to promote the revision of ATP-71 as well as other publications relevant to the subject matters. NMIOTC’s intention is to achieve the following objectives:

• Investigate possible effects of evolving concepts and doctrines to future tactics, techniques and procedures related to MIO and in general to maritime security operations and their tasks.
• Discuss and evaluate new proposed chapters / annexes of ATP-71 and other relevant publications in order to be evaluated during MAROPS WG.
• Support the efforts of the Alliance to produce a publication covering MSO tasks and their aspects at the operational and tactical level.
