AJP-4 focuses on the operational level, although it also has utility at the strategic and tactical levels. In addition, the doctrine is instructive to, and provides a useful framework for operations conducted by a coalition of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members, partners and non-NATO states.
