In order to accomplish the full spectrum of Alliance missions, the NATO Command Structure is supported by the NATO force structure. The force structure provides three broad categories of forces, in-place forces primarily for collective defence and deployable forces, both held at graduated readiness levels. The third category known as [long-term build-up] forces which provide forces generally associated with generation of capabilities for large scale Article 5 operations held at very low readiness.
