5.2.1: Article 5
Provide reassurance on Article 5 commitment. Other Information:
Assuring Allies with regard to Article 5 requires refreshing and maintaining essential skills and capabilities. The Alliance
has developed adequate military readiness criteria to meet Article 5 commitments but it should do more to guarantee its readiness
in practice. This will require better contingency planning, preparations for crisis management, equipment assessments, and
appropriate military exercises. Such exercises should not be provocative, should be announced in advance, and should be open
to observers from neighbouring countries.
