defense agreements
Mutual security compacts
Defense agreements are formal arrangements between nations to provide mutual military protection or support.
They range from full alliances requiring armed response to an attack on any member—like NATO's collective defense clause—to limited pacts covering specific regions, bases, or weapons sharing.
The two countries signed a defense agreement allowing joint naval exercises.
