Doctrine & Standards · Capability 03

Doctrine that deploys.

Authoring, reviewing and operationalising NATO doctrine — AJP-3.9 and the AIntP series — for partner nations and joint commands. We translate doctrine into deployable workflows that staff can actually execute under time pressure.

What we deliver

The specific offerings.

  • Doctrine drafting & peer review. National doctrine drafting, NATO doctrine peer-review contributions, and alignment notes for partner-nation publications.
  • Standards Operating Procedure design. Translating doctrine into SOPs that work in the operations room — tested against scenario sets before publication.
  • Doctrine-to-workflow mapping. The bridge between AJP-3.9 / AIntP-3 / AIntP-11 / AIntP-14 / AIntP-16 and the daily staff workflow.
  • Reference library curation. Maintained doctrine reference set with cross-references between national and NATO publications.
  • Training pack co-development. Doctrine-anchored training packs delivered alongside the doctrine itself.
How we do it

Methodology.

Doctrine that nobody uses is not doctrine. We treat every doctrine engagement as a workflow design problem: what decision must this enable, who executes it, under what time pressure, and with what audit trail.

Drafting moves from a problem-centric framing — what threshold judgements does this doctrine support — to the structural design of the publication itself, then to the implementing SOPs that staff will actually open during operations.

We work in NATO idiom and UK English, and we always cross-reference with the relevant AIntP and AJP publications. National additions are presented as additions, not as substitutes.

How this work shows up.

National doctrine

Targeting doctrine alignment for a partner air force

Twelve-week engagement to align a partner-nation national targeting doctrine to AJP-3.9, with implementing SOPs and a doctrine-trained instructor cohort.

Standards

ISR SOP authoring at a coalition HQ

Three SOPs covering collection management, fusion-cell working, and the interface to the targeting board — written, tested and signed off through one tabletop exercise series.

Reference work

AIntP series cross-reference library

Curated reference library and cross-reference set linking AIntP-3, -14 and -16 to a partner-nation intelligence school’s teaching publications.
