Equipment for dismounted soldiers

Die NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) hat am 24. April 2020 den Abschluss eines Fünfjahresvertrags mit Level Peaks Associates über die Beschaffung von Kampfuniformen und Zubehör bekanntgegeben. Mit diesem Vertrag wird die NSPA über die Dismounted Soldier Equipment User Group (DSEUG) Ausrüstung zur Verfügung stellen und damit den wiederkehrenden Bedarf der beteiligten Nationen decken. Die DSEUG wird derzeit von 24 NATO-Nationen gebildet. Führungsnation ist Großbritannien, vertreten durch die Royal Marines.

The United Kingdom's Royal Marine Command Forces has expressed interest in the equipment. The Netherlands, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, Norway, Poland and Slovakia have also reported interest in the contract.

Through such cross-nation procurements, NATO – through the NSPA – aims to link industry capabilities and national requirements to find the most cost-effective and efficient solutions. Any company interested in working with the NSPA must register in a central database containing past, present and potential providers, including performance and capabilities. Registration is free.
