STANREC 4813
NATO nations and NATO bodies developing or applying next-generation NATO reference mobility models for vehicle acquisition and design planning
STANREC 4813 is NATO's non-binding recommendation that nations use AMSP-06 (Edition A) to build next-generation NATO reference mobility models (NG-NRMM) for vehicle acquisition and design; adoption is voluntary, not required.
STANREC 4813 is a NATO Standardization Recommendation, Edition 1, dated 16 July 2021. A STANREC is built the same way a STANAG is, with one difference that matters: a STANAG is an agreement nations ratify and commit to implement, a STANREC is a recommendation they are free to take up. STANREC 4813 makes that difference concrete: nations "are invited to use the Allied standard(s) covered by the STANREC and to provide feedback to the NSO on the use of the covered Allied standard(s)" - an invitation, not a ratified obligation. It is supervised under NATO's Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG).
STANREC 4813 carries no modelling method of its own. Its aim, in its own words, is "to list recommended practices regarding: the latest mobility modelling and simulation predictive tools utilizing terramechanics, uncertainty quantification, GIS information and map based visualization for planning the NATO nations' military vehicle operations, and to support vehicle acquisition and design." The one thing it recommends is a single document: "AMSP-06, Edition A." Under OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS it names nothing further ("None"), and it names no earlier edition it replaces: this is its first edition. Everything about how a next-generation reference mobility model (NG-NRMM) is actually built, run and interpreted lives in AMSP-06, not in this covering STANREC.
The tasking authority is NATO's Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG). The STANREC is reviewed "in accordance with AAP-03," with the result "recorded within the NATO Standardization Document Database (NSDD)," rather than against a fixed date printed in the document itself. Under USE, "Member or partner nations and NATO bodies should provide feedback to the NSO on the use of Allied standards covered by a STANREC" - the reporting runs from the nations back to the NATO Standardization Office (NSO), not the other way round.
STANREC 4813 addresses nations and NATO organisations that develop or apply next-generation NATO reference mobility models for planning military vehicle operations, and for vehicle acquisition and design, not a supplier or manufacturer directly. It binds nobody by itself: whatever an organisation ends up doing about mobility modelling follows from a contract that calls up AMSP-06's practice, or from a national programme separately choosing to apply it, not from this recommendation existing. It is a NATO non classified document, "to be handled in accordance with C-M(2002)60," free of charge, and its reproduction restriction is lifted for member or partner nations and NATO commands and bodies.
STANREC 4813 names no certification body, no government quality assurance arrangement, no notified body, and no self-declaration scheme. The only assessment it describes is aimed at the document itself - the periodic review under AAP-03, recorded in the NSDD - not at an organisation, a product, or a specific mobility model. Whatever check a vehicle programme's mobility modelling actually gets is set by whichever nation or NATO organisation applies AMSP-06 to that programme, and that check sits outside this STANREC entirely.
STANREC 4813 is a cover document for a modelling and simulation practice, not a technical or quality-management standard: the practice it points to, AMSP-06, concerns how next-generation NATO reference mobility models are built and used for military vehicle operations, acquisition and design, and that terramechanics, uncertainty-quantification and GIS-based modelling work happens in specialised engineering and simulation tooling, not inside a compliance platform. What ComplyTrain supports is the documentation trail that kind of programme still needs: the internal procedure describing which mobility-modelling approach a programme has chosen and why, records of which models and tools were used and validated for a given vehicle acquisition programme, and training records showing the people involved understand the programme's own modelling governance.
ComplyTrain does not build, run or validate a mobility model itself, does not perform the terramechanics, uncertainty-quantification or GIS analysis AMSP-06 describes, and does not decide which countries or programmes STANREC 4813 or AMSP-06 apply to - that is set by the contract and the acquiring nation. Explore the related standards this STANREC sits alongside, or talk to us about the documentation a mobility-modelling governance process needs to hold up under review.

Thank you. Your list is on its way to your inbox, and we will come back to you on what working with these standards in ComplyTrain involves, usually within one business day.
No. It is a recommendation, not an agreement nations ratify. Nations "are invited to use the Allied standard(s) covered by the STANREC," which is an invitation rather than a commitment. Any obligation an organisation meets comes from a contract that calls up AMSP-06, or from a national programme that separately applies it, not from the STANREC itself.
A STANAG is an agreement NATO nations ratify, with reservations possible on implementation. A STANREC recommends a practice without asking for that commitment. STANREC 4813 recommends AMSP-06; it does not ratify it.
One document: AMSP-06, Edition A, for the mobility modelling and simulation predictive tools that support next-generation NATO reference mobility models (NG-NRMM), used for planning military vehicle operations and for vehicle acquisition and design.
No certification, government surveillance, or notified-body scheme is named in the document. The only review it describes is of the STANREC's own currency under AAP-03, not an assessment of an organisation, a product, or a mobility model.
No. NATO standardization documents are free of charge; STANREC 4813 is not sold by NATO or by us.
One system for the whole compliance programme. Start with the module you need most.
Collect information the same way every time, and decide in advance what happens next.
Know whether your controls are operating, not just whether a policy says they exist.
Turn the compliance work you already know about into a plan with owners, dependencies and dates.
Know what you can offer, and hold the evidence behind every configuration you offer it in.
Eight built-in reports across every module, scheduled, delivered, and filed where the evidence lives.
