The Standing Naval Force Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT)
is a permanent peacetime multinational naval squadron composed of destroyers,
cruisers and frigates from the navies of various NATO nations. The Force
operates, trains and exercises as a group, providing day-to-day verification of
current NATO maritime procedures, tactics and effectiveness.
Created in 1967, the Force has since involved a total of
over 500 ships and more than 150.000 serving men and women. It participates
annually in a series of scheduled NATO and national exercises designed to
maintain readiness and foster interoperability. It provides a visible, practical
example of Allied solidarity and transatlantic cooperation. Recent exercises
have also demonstrated the capacity of the Force to undertake peace support and
humanitarian operations outside the traditional area of responsibility of the
Alliance, in line with NATO's policy of extending security throughout the
Euro-Atlantic area.
