What is Deployment?

Deployment is defined as the assignment of a NATO civilian staff member to a location other than the duty station to perform duties in direct support of a North Atlantic Council (NAC) approved operation or in support of NAMSO state(s) operations endorsed by the Board of Directors (BOD) in conformity with the NAMSO charter. Deployments are defined as long term or temporary short term. The decision to deploy will be based on several factors, including the nature of the deployment, the proposed duration, the conditions at the location(s) to be visited, and an overall risk assessment.

NAMSA’s Deployment Policy

Some NAMSA positions have been created and funded by customers to cover missions requiring compulsory deployment. In these cases the contracts of such positions for deployable civilians include a compulsory deployability clause. This deployability clause states that the position in question is earmarked for mandatory deployment in support of NAC- approved operations and missions. This means that the incumbent of the post will be deployed 6 months out of every 18 months throughout the contract period.
