Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Volatile Disposition)

The Atlantic Treaty Organisation is an is an intergovernmental military alliance between 19 North American, South American and European countries. The organization implements the North Atlantic Treaty that was signed on 4 April 1949 as well as the Pact for Free Americas that was signed on 13 June 2037.
The ATO's origins stem from quickly decreasing membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, its direct predecessor, due to the era of New Pax Americana that ushered after the Third World War. This caused membership from states to fall, either due to fear of invasion by the MDP or simply lack of interest in the organisation any further. The ATO was formed in 2037 as a direct response from remaining NATO states to the Federation, so as to prevent the Federation from further endangering the Americas.
The ATO has thus far only participated in two major military operations: the ongoing South American War and the 2042 Libyan War against ISAWA forces. However, it has publicly clashed with other alliances, most notably the MDP, Federation and ISAWA, thanks to the influence of the United States of America.
The ATO has one of, if not the most, strong military forces in the world, thanks to the combined military of the United States, Germany, France and the Free Brazillian forces. The organisation rarely takes part in wars except when it has direct ties or obligations to any of the involved nations.
