SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
The Military Committee Terminology Standardization Programme
(MCTSP) was originally established as the NATO Military Terminology
Standardization Programme by the NATO Standing Group in February
1954 which:
assigned responsibility for the coordination of NATO military
terminology to the Military Agency for Standardization (MAS)
(predecessor of the NATO Standardization Agency (NSA));
outlined the initial steps for processing terminology;
provided general terms of reference (TOR).
The TOR have been periodically changed and updated to provide
for the participation of all NATO nations. In 1970 the Air Board,
MAS, promulgated NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 3680 -
NATO Glossary of Military Terms and Definitions (English and
French) (AAP-6) to assist Service Boards, working groups and panels
of experts in considering terminology within their purview.
The object of STANAG 3680 as stated in its 5th Edition
(Amendment 1) "is to register national acceptance of Allied
Administrative Publication No 6 (AAP-6)". The details of the
agreement state that "participating nations agree to use AAP-6 and
any subsequent changes published periodically as the primary
glossary for NATO terms of military significance and their
definitions".
In 2004, the Military Committee (MC) formalized the name change
of the NATO Terminology Conference to Military Committee
Terminology Conference (MCTC). The NATO Military Terminology
Standardization Programme was also renamed MCTSP. The MCTC received
tasking authority from the MC to standardize terminology under the
purview of the MC.
