MC 0324/3 - THE NATO MILITARY COMMAND STRUCTURE (Jan 13)
“Headquarters Allied Maritime Command (HQ MARCOM) is established in Northwood (United Kingdom), to provide C2 for the full spectrum of Joint Maritime Operations and tasks. From its static location, it plans, conducts, and supports Joint maritime operations. HQ MARCOM is responsible for maritime competency and acts as NATO's principal maritime advisor. It maintains comprehensive situational awareness throughout the maritime environment, and is ready to command a maritime heavy SJO or act as the Maritime Component (MCC) to support up to a MJO+. This HQ contributes to development and transformation, engagement and outreach within its domain of expertise.”

NATO UNCLASSIFIED 12
Needs
Network (Sensor & Nonsensor) Build formal and informal relationship based on
trust and mutual benefit (Protocol&Agreements)
Establishment of focal points (to get info and to react)
Information sharing Not only data, but knowledge Specific intel info (where, when , who etc) Info on crew, owners, contractors, cargo etc
NATO UNCLASSIFIED 13
Needs
Means (assets&systems) Rapid reaction capabilities for investigation Better surveillance capability (MPA,
Submarine, spaces based sensors ) Better systems for processing (collection,
fusion and analysis capability) Language Human intelligence

Takeaway
• MSA is bigger than a toolbox
• A robust MSA Concept provides a foundation
for Operational doctrine, implementation plan
• NETWORK based INFO/KNOWLEDGE
sharing
•Improved Info sharing – establish network
•Improved tools & funding to support them

Challenges
Solving national legal and security constrains Achieve the need to share data as principle
Security versus Safety issues Can NATO assist in tracking environmental concern VOI? Can nations provide NATO with information gathered for
Safety purposes? Achieving full coverage of IMO SOLAS vessels
LRIT, AIS Satellites Plus enhanced radar coverage streamlined
Automatic data collection, fusion and discrimination

MOC2MOC collaboration
Culture and methods of information sharing A shift is towards “need to share” attitude Enable dissemination, but maintain Data
Protection and Proprietary restrictions Making collaboration agreements
Mutually state your information requirements and share awareness with your partners
Agree on methods of info sharing, employ and exercise these
