How Are the U.S. Marines Involved with NATO and Foreign Military Forces?
NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which consists of a group of member countries that work together as allies during wartimes to defend their territories around the world. When a country is in danger of its lands being invaded, the countries that are NATO members will band together and help each other per the Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, to maintain peace in the region and allow the country to get help to defend their homeland. NATO also encourages and promotes high-level democratic values to assist members to have security related defense from other NATO member countries. These allies help NATO countries and “have their back” in times of war or global conflicts.
The way that these forces know how to manage conflicts, help member countries and to work together with military forces of different nations, is that they routinely train together to perfect their maneuvers. These training exercises are for the elite special forces groups around the world, and member nations to NATO can train at Camp Lejeune, as a central United States training facility.

People are now affected and sick with many different types of diseases, based on this dangerous and hazardous exposure to TCE and PCE. TCE and PCE are chemicals that are used usually in the manufacturing process. The chemicals related to TCE are nonflammable, colorless and liquid used to remove grease from metal parts, are in adhesives and paint removers. The PCE chemicals are also nonflammable and are used in the dry-cleaning process to remove grease as well. PCE can sometimes be called perchloroethylene or PERC.
