USA: Military Alliances
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether any legal framework exists to support interchangeability within maritime operations with the US.
- Answer
-
The Royal Navy (RN) and the Ministry of Defence have negotiated multiple frameworks over the past few decades to better ensure greater interoperability between the United Kingdom and the United States of America on Maritime Operations across all Defence Lines of Development.
Common operating procedures have been embedded through bilateral arrangements (such as Treaties, Statement of Intent and Memorandum of Understanding) covering issues such as personnel, tactics, training and procedures, concepts and doctrine, equipment, logistics, information, weapons and infrastructure.
The RN has a long tradition of working closely with NATO, Five Eyes allies, Joint Expeditionary Force partners and other key maritime nations and opportunities for interchangeability are regularly explored to maintain these close working relationships.
