The MIP's aim is to ensure that the MIP's strategic  goals and objectives are achieved.

The activities of Detailed Planning, Co-ordination, Task Execution Management and Risk Mitigation must be synchronised and complementary within the MIP.  These activities are carried out by the Programme Management Group following MSG's policy and guidance.

Strategic planning is predominantly a Programme Management level activity conducted by the MSG, which is concerned with identifying the MIP goals, objectives, milestones and Short and Long Term plans.

Management at the Task Execution level conducted by the PMG is concerned (mostly) with the management of the detailed Short and Long Term plans. The PMG also effects co-ordination between the WGs to insure that MSG goals are mutually understood

The main activities of the PMG are to facilitate co-ordination between WGs, and to make the necessary implementation level decisions to facilitate Programme execution within the framework of the MSG overarching policy and direction.  The PMG will be the arbitrator and decision-maker during WG Meeting Sessions.

The specific tasks of the PMG to this end are among others:

		Develop and maintain the PMG Work Plan.
		Effect co-ordination between the MIP WGs and ensure the WP effectiveness.
		Make implementation level decisions and perform risk mitigation as necessary.
		Develop and maintain several documents such as MPMP, MIPS, MCLiP, MVS, the MIP Standard Briefing as well as others the MSG might decide to.
		Provide direction and guidance to the MIP representatives at the MNMB (MIP NDAG Management Board).

* More comprehensive list may be found in the MPMP (Program Management Plan)

Member's Heads of Delegation or their representatives empowered to make decisions as well as WG's Chairmen, attend the PMG meetings. The MSG designates a chairman and vice-chair for the PMG. The PMG establishes a secretariat to support the chair.

All PMG decisions are made by the unanimous agreement of the Full Member's HoDs. The PMG directs the WGs, who in turn report back at each PMG meeting. The PMG approves the Action Item and Decision List of its meetings.

The PMG meets as required to fulfil MIP objectives. The location and timings of these meetings are to be agreed upon by the MSG. Normally the PMG meets concurrently with the WGs and at same location, to facilitate co-ordination work among them.

PMG meets four times a year for two weeks each. Germany is the Host Nation and the WTD 81 facilities located in Greding, lets MIP PMG and WGs get and work together.

The WG meeting forecast is included in the MIPS.

The designation of MPG Chairman and Vice Chairman is at the discretion of the MSG.  In the capacity the Chairman the designee carries out the following responsibilities:

		Chairs meetings of the PMG, providing a neutral viewpoint to facilitate the achievement of MIP aims.
		Coordinate with PMG Host Member support organisations to ensure the effective conduct of PMG meetings. This would include coordination related to meeting room requirements, production of minutes of the meeting, et al.
		The Vice Chairman supports the Chairman as required.

* Although there is not formal PMG minutes, all the presentations and documents used during its meeting is collected and afterwards published in the Web  Members' Area.

The aim of the MNMB is to perform for the MIP and the DMSWG (former NDAG) the strategic data planning to produce and maintain a Joint/Combined Consultation, Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM).

The MNMB gives direction and guidance to the Data Modelling Working Group (DMWG).  The MNMB is the first level for resolution of conflicts between the MIP and the NDAG.

The overall document governing the task, organisation and procedures of the MNMB is the MIP-NDAG Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), as signed by the PMG and NDAG Chairman on the 4th of February 2004 in Mons (BE)
