1.1: Collective Defence
Reaffirm NATO's Core Commitment. Other Information:
Reaffirming NATO's Core Commitment: Collective Defence. NATO's core commitment -- embodied in Article 5 of the North Atlantic
Treaty -- is unchanged, but the requirements for fulfilling that commitment have shifted in shape. To remain credible, this
pledge to shield member states from armed aggression must be backed up not only by basic military capabilities but also by
the contingency planning, focused exercises, force readiness, and sound logistics required to preserve the confidence of Allies
while minimizing the likelihood of miscalculation on the part of potential adversaries.
