Regional Approach ExampleRegional Approach Example

NAMSA Ammunition Support Partnership (Since 1993)

By managing contracts on nations’behalf, NAMSA is a privileged partner of Nations committing reducing stockpile

• In a cost effective way (consolidation, open competition, tax)

• With the minimum possible environmental impact (EU regulations)

• With the maximum Safety & Security (UN & NATO regulations)

• With a quality control process (NATO QA)
