Enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the process of including new member states in NATO.
 NATO is a military alliance of twenty-seven European and two North American countries that constitutes a system of collective defense.
 The process of joining the alliance is governed by Article 10 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which allows only for the invitation of "other European States", and by subsequent agreements.
 Countries wishing to join have to meet certain requirements and complete a multi-step process involving political dialogue and military integration.
 The accession process is overseen by the North Atlantic Council, NATO's governing body. United States European Command
The United States European Command (EUCOM) is one of nine Unified Combatant Commands of the United States military, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany.
 Its area of focus covers 21000000 sqmi and 51 countries and territories, including Europe, Russia, Greenland, and Israel.
 The Commander of the United States military EUCOM simultaneously serves as the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR) within NATO—an intergovernmental military alliance.
 During the Gulf War and Operation Northern Watch, EUCOM controlled the forces flying from Incirlik Air Base. Collective Security Treaty Organization
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO; Russian: Организация Договора о Коллективной Безопасности , "Organizacija Dogovora o Kollektivnoj Bezopasnosti", ODKB) is an intergovernmental military alliance that was signed on 15 May 1992.
 In 1992, six post-Soviet states belonging to the Commonwealth of Independent States—Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan—signed the Collective Security Treaty (also referred to as the "Tashkent Pact" or "Tashkent Treaty").
 Three other post-Soviet states—Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Georgia—signed the next year and the treaty took effect in 1994.
 Five years later, six of the nine—all but Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Uzbekistan—agreed to renew the treaty for five more years, and in 2002 those six agreed to create the Collective Security Treaty Organization as a military alliance.
 Uzbekistan rejoined the CSTO in 2006 but withdrew in 2012. Canada–NATO relations
Canada has been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) since its inception in 1949.
 Canada was not only a member but one of the principal initiators (founding countries) of the alliance.
 This Atlanticist outlook was a marked break with Canada's pre-war isolationism, and was the first peacetime alliance Canada had ever joined.
 However, Canadian officials such as Hume Wrong and Lester B. Pearson and including Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent worked in favour of the alliance not only because they sought to contain the Soviet Union, as did other members, but because they hoped the treaty would help to eliminate any potential rivalries between the United States, the United Kingdom, and other European great powers (principally at the time France, but later including West Germany), where Canada would be forced to choose sides.
 This had long been the overriding goal of Canadian foreign policy.
 The main Canadian contribution to the North Atlantic Treaty was Article 2 which committed members to maintain a "free" political system and to promote economic cooperation, in addition to the more usual diplomatic and military matters.
 However trans-Atlantic unity in political and economic matters has not come to fruition, as European states have looked toward the European Union and its antecedents while North America has the North American Free Trade Agreement List of NATO Operations
