      Od pristupanja NATO-u, Estonija u svoje glavne prioritete stavlja suradnju sa tom organizacijom. Uspostavili su čvrste veze sa SAD-om u pitanjima sigurnosti i vojne suradnje. Trenutno, Estonija učestvuje u NATO-ovom Timu za brze reakcije i radi u Iraku u NATO misiji za obuku iračkih trupa. Od 2009. estonci imaju jedinicu od 40 vojnika raspoređenu u Iraku a oko 3% svojih aktivnih vojnih snaga šalje u Afganistan (u suradnji sa Britancima). Irak su napustili,  ali u mirovnim misijama Un-a još učestvuju. trenutno su u misiji na Kosovu. Bili su i u misiji SFOR-a u Bosni i Hercegovini. Mornarica učestvuje i u protiv piratskim operacijama uz obalu Somalije, te Borbenim grupama Evropske Unije.

     
     

      Since 2004 Estonia has been a full member of the NATO; it had been one of its foremost priorities since the restoration of independence. The US is among the countries with which Estonia has very close cooperation in the defence and security fields. Currently Estonia takes seriously participation in the NATO Response Team and contributes in NTM-I (NATO Training Mission - Iraq). Until 2009, Estonia had 40 soldiers fighting alongside American Forces in the Iraq War and 150 soldiers, or about 3% of its total active military force, fighting alongside British Forces in Afghanistan. Estonian forces have since been withdrawn from Iraq. In both cases, the units were regularly rotated. Estonia also provides peacekeepers for international missions in both Bosnia and Kosovo within the framework of the KFOR , and also contributes to EU battlegroups and NATO Response Force rotations and the EU’s anti-piracy operations off the coast of Somalia. The Estonian military employs STANG (NATO interoperable) weapons and equipment acquired from Finland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Great Britain, the United States and Israel.

MULTINATIONAL CORPS NORTH EAST  MULTINACIONALNI KOPUS SJEVERO-ISTOK

 

      1997. ministri obrane Danske, Njemačke i Poljske odlučili su osnovati dansko-njemačko-poljski korpus. Ovaj je korpus trebao dobiti naziv Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok (Multinational Corps Northeast, MNC NE). Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok formiran je 18. rujna 1999. u Szczecinu u Poljskoj, koji je postao njegovo sjedište. Razvio se iz dugogodišnjeg jedinog multinacionalnog korpusa u NATO-u, savezničkih kopnenih snaga Schleswig-Holstein i Jutland (LANDJUT). Trinacionalna radna skupina osnovana je nakon odluke iz srpnja 1997. da Poljska treba biti primljena u NATO. Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok ima ključnu funkciju u integraciji novih država članica NATO-a.

      In July 1997, Ministers of Defence of Denmark, Germany and Poland decided to establish a Danish-German-Polish Corps. This corps was to be named Multinational Corps Northeast. Multinational Corps Northeast was formed on 18 September 1999 at Szczecin, Poland, which became its headquarters. It evolved from what was for many years the only multinational corps in NATO, Allied Land Forces Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland  (LANDJUT). A tri-national working group was established following the July 1997 decision that Poland was to be admitted to NATO. Multinational Corps North East has a key function in the integration of new NATO member states.
