North Atlantic Treaty Organization
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is a treaty organization and military alliance.
History
Members
Structure
The organization is led by a secretary general, a supreme commander (always of the U.S. Armed Forces), and a chair of the military committee (also a military position, but not necessary of the U.S.).
The organization largely avoids the politics of members. Stoltenberg argued that "NATO is the most successful alliance in history because we have been able to stay out of domestic political debates."
