Aliance se bude spolu s ostatními mezinárodními činiteli aktivně angažovat v období před vznikem krize, v průběhu krize a po skončení krize tak, aby podporovala provádění společných analýz, společné plánování a společné vedení činnosti v prostoru operace s cílem dosáhnout maximální soudržnosti a efektivity společného mezinárodního úsilí."
