NATO forces
Western military coalition
NATO forces are military personnel and assets operating under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a defensive alliance of North American and European nations.
The term typically appears in contexts involving collective defense operations, joint military exercises, or deployments to member states: NATO forces conducted exercises near the Baltic states.
During the Cold War, NATO forces primarily meant troops positioned to counter Soviet expansion; today the term encompasses peacekeeping and crisis response missions.
