The Military Committee (MC) is the senior military authority in NATO and the oldest permanent body in NATO after the North Atlantic Council. The Military Committee, headed by its Chairman, meets frequently at the level of permanent Military Representatives, and three times a year at the level of Chiefs of Defense, to discuss NATO operations and missions and to provide consensus-based military advice to the North Atlantic Council on how the Alliance can best respond to global security challenges.
