The simulation of NATO shall be as follows:

  • Each participating institution shall represent one or more NATO Member States. 
  • Each NATO Member State delegation shall consist of a minimum of 5 students and, where possible, be accompanied by a faculty advisor.

  • Delegates are encouraged to supplement the material with individual research and, where possible, classroom instruction, to enhance their preparation. 
  • On arrival in Washington, DC, each delegation shall be briefed at the Embassy of the country it represents. 
  • The sponsors shall designate qualified student delegates to preside over the deliberations of each committee. 
  • The sponsors shall assign participating university/college professors to serve as faculty advisors and resource persons in each committee.
