STANAG 2287

STANAG 2287 mission task verbs for planning and dissemination of orders

Military staff officers who draft operation orders, and developers of command-and-control and planning systems that need a standard set of task verbs.

STANAG 2287 is the NATO agreement on mission task verbs used in planning and issuing orders. NATO has not released it publicly, so this page describes it from NATO publications that cite it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.

What it is

STANAG 2287 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on mission task verbs for use in the planning and dissemination of orders, edition 2, promulgated in November 2020 under the sponsorship of MC, MCLSB, LO, SLDP. It covers the publication ATP-112.

NATO has not released STANAG 2287 publicly, so this page describes it from two public NATO publications that cite it: APP-06 and STANAG 2019.

Where it is cited

APP-06, the NATO standard that provides common operational symbology, lists STANAG 2287 among its references as "Task Verbs for Use in Planning and the Dissemination of Orders". Its Table 8-A-1 gives symbols for mission tasks and mission task verbs, and the accompanying text states "This Appendix supports STANAG 2287." APP-06 explains that "Task and Mission Task Verb symbols are for use in course of action sketches, synchronization matrices, and manoeuvre sketches." It adds that "They do not replace any part of the operation order", that the Tactical Mission Task Verb symbols should be scaled to the map scale and the size of the unit they are used for, and that the examples in the table are for illustration only.

STANAG 2019, the agreement that covers APP-06, names STANAG 2287 and ATP-112 under its other related documents. It does not describe their content.
