Following the successful completion of the NATO Research Following the successful completion of the NATO Research Task Group 154Task Group 154, as a result of the extensive knowledge gained on NATO operational rations as well as the synergy of the group, the Chairman and members were requested to the Chairman and members were requested to participate in a Expert Team called together to develop a participate in a Expert Team called together to develop a new STANAG to replace STANAG 2937new STANAG to replace STANAG 2937.

There were several attempts to draft a new STANAG, but all failed due to many national changes so it has been recommended that this ET consider an entirely new STANAGthis ET consider an entirely new STANAG rather than attempt to revise the last version.

STANAGSTANAG vs. STANREC vs. STANREC (2)(2)

Because:

• the more interoperability is needed, the more likely the document should be a STANAG;

• STANRECs are intended to cover material standards;

• if a STANREC is then found to require interoperability, it should enter the ratification process as a STANAG;

• a STANREC is more like a proposal,
