The North Atlantic Alliance was founded in 1949 primarily with the aim of associating and securing the security of the then “Western Civilizations” and “Free Europe” states and linking them to the US alliance. This alliance had only one task to build the ability to counter threats from the communist part of the world, to prevent the spread of communism to the rest of Europe, and to secure common defence. Along with the Warsaw Pact this kind of NATO represented one of the most important actors of the Cold War geopolitical order. With the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War, the Alliance changes its role and strategic concept of action and the area of use and action. The alliance is also open to the adventurous opponents with which it now stands in partnership and allied relations, which is dedicated to new tasks, challenges and struggles against new threats and threats: terrorism, production and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, dangers threatening the so-called failed or weak states and against other contemporary threats and asymmetric threats that endanger security and stability. In response to all these threats and challenges, the Alliance has focused on one of its core tasks of crisis management. Cross-crisis management transformation goes beyond military operations aimed solely at deterring and threatening threats and includes multi-purpose operations conducted in support of the UN or OSCE mandate or at the invitation of sovereign governments, including military forces and diplomatic and humanitarian agencies, and are intended to achieve long-term political alignment or other terms specified in the mandate.
