MEMORANDUM TO THE UNDER-SEOliETARy- 0— - 11 w —5* Political Implications of NATO Military Manoeuvres On October 21, 1952, the Military Representatives Committee approved a paper on NATO Exercise Schedules (S.G. 207/2). It was agreed that NATO commanders are responsible for planning, co-ordinating and conducting NATO exercises,-and that these should be based on a two-year cycle and promulgated to the Standing Group, all NATO national authorities and to other major NATO Commanders well in advance. V 2. At a meeting of the Council on November 19, this procedure was amended to include ’’the Secretary General for the information of the Council”. Our understanding is that the opportunity is provided by this amendment for members of the Council to raise objections to military arrangments . However it is not certain that they can prevent these arrangements from taking effect. It would appear to depend on the advance notice given. It was made clear that some countries (notably Denmark and the United Kingdom) may wish to raise the subject again if the amended procedure does not prove adequate. 3. SHAPE issues a monthly forecast of NATO exercises. Those which may involve political implications are marked so that the Council and national authorities concerned may consult Directing Headquarters, presumably the NATO Commander directing the operations. /h /— Defence Liaison (1). /2 ■ 3 6 ( s) 000128 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
