| Summary |
"In February 2016 NATO decided on the deployment of its Standing NATO Maritime Group Two in the Aegean Sea for surveilling illegal crossings and contributing to the fight against migrant traffickers, thus demonstrating the Alliance's adaptation to the evolving international security context. NATO maritime forces have been supporting Turkish and Greek authorities, as well as Frontex, the European Union's border management agency (recently upgraded to the European Border and Coast Guard Agency), by providing real-time information. After three years of uncontrollable migrant flows to European coasts and seven months of activity in the Aegean Sea, NATO has decided to join the EU's efforts in the wider Mediterranean Sea, as both organizations face the same security challenges rising from the Southern border, but work with different means as well as partners ... Operation Sea Guardian represents the operationalization, for the very first time, of the full range of the fourth task assigned by the March 2011 Alliance Maritime Strategy (AMS) to NATO's maritime forces: maritime security operations ... Operation Sea Guardian, with numerous functions and responsibilities, is expected to contribute to securing the maritime environment, provide crisis response and enhance partnerships, dialogue and cooperation.
