Sodelovanje vključuje obveznost vzajemnega obveščanja, svetovanja in podpore pri vseh zadevah, pri katerih vojaška nujnost narekuje skupno izvedbo.”

Memorandum ni v neskladju s slovensko zakonodajo ali katerim koli veljavnim mednarodnim sporazumom. Če se neskladja kljub temu pojavijo, se obvestijo zainteresirani organi, države in sile, obveljajo pa veljavni mednarodni sporazumi.
3-2 Podpora države gostiteljice (PDG), ki jo zajema ta MS, se začne ob prvem vstopu osebja ali opreme ZKSJE, ZMS(K) ali sil udeležencev na ozemlje Republike Slovenije in traja do odhoda zadnjih delov ZKSJE, ZMS(K) ali sil udeležencev iz Slovenije. PDG udeležencem se izvaja izrecno v skladu z zadevnimi prilogami.

4-4 DG pooblasti udeležence za nošenje osebnega orožja in streliva v tranzitu in na območju vojaške vaje v Sloveniji v skladu z varnostnimi ukrepi, dogovorjenimi med DG in PZMS(K) v imenu vseh sil udeležencev.

4-11 Pogodbenici priznavata, da med sile udeležencev spadajo tudi sile držav članic Nata, ki niso ratificirale sporazuma Partnerstva za mir o statusu sil, in sile držav, ki niso članice Nata in ki so ratificirale sporazum Partnerstva za mir o statusu sil. Republika Slovenija potrjuje, da bo osebju vseh udeležencev zagotovila položaj, pravice, ugodnosti, imunitete in privilegije, ki so določeni za osebje držav podpisnic na podlagi sporazuma Partnerstva za mir o statusu sil. Republika Slovenija ne razlikuje med državami pošiljateljicami in vsem državam pošiljateljicam zagotovi pravice, prednosti in privilegije, določene s sporazumom Partnerstva za mir o statusu sil in sporazumom Nata o statusu sil, in si prizadeva, da vsem udeležencem zagotovi pravice, privilegije in ugodnosti, določene na podlagi Pariškega protokola.

Blago se v Sloveniji ne prodaja, razen članom ZMS(K), ZKSJE in sil udeležencev, ki jih pooblastijo pristojni državni organi.
4. Identifikacija. Vse osebje, ki je v Sloveniji razporejeno za namene operacijskih načrtov in podpore, mora imeti identifikacijske dokumente, ki so podrobno določeni v III. členu NATO SOFA. Te dokumente mora imeti osebje vedno pri sebi.
5. Javne prireditve. Slovenske oblasti zagotovijo ustrezne prostore in osebje za organizacijo javnih prireditev (glej: Prilogi H in J), ki potekajo na zahtevo PZMS(K) med vojaško vajo in kot je dogovorjeno z DG.
6. Protokol. Organizacijo vseh dogovorjenih protokolarnih prireditev vodi Skupni biro za obiskovalce in opazovalce v sodelovanju s slovenskimi vojaškimi organi.
7. Obravnava civilistov
a. Za zaščito sil ZMS(K) v Sloveniji pred civilnimi nemiri in podobnimi incidenti je odgovorna slovenska vlada. Slovenska policija se uporablja za zadrževanje ali odvračanje napada.
b. DG priznava, da ima vsak pripadnik sile enake zakonske pravice kot slovenski državljani v smislu dovoljenja za pridržanje vsake osebe, ki stori prekršek v zvezi z osebjem ali lastnino sile, pod pogojem, da so te osebe v najkrajšem možnem času izročene ustreznim slovenskim oblastem.
c. Pridržane osebe se takoj izročijo slovenskim oblastem.
8. Gibanje enot in varnost
a. Iz varnostnih razlogov se gibanje po cestah zunaj območij, namenjenih za vajo, izvaja v skladu s STANAG 2154 in 2155 in s slovenskimi mirnodobnimi predpisi.

e. V skladu z NATO SOFA slovenska vlada priznava, da za nobeno vozilo ZMS(K), ZKSJE in sil udeležencev ne veljajo nobeni zakoni ali predpisi, ki za vozila ali njihove voznike zahtevajo nezgodno zavarovanje ali zavarovanje proti tretji osebi. ZMS(K), ZKSJE in sile udeležencev se strinjajo, da bo gibanje njihovih enot potekalo pod nadzorom slovenskih vojaških organov v konvojih, ki jih spremlja slovenska vojaška policija. Kljub temu DG dovoljuje, da kadar so viri slovenske vojaške policije nezadostni za kritje potreb spremstva gibanja vozil ZMS(K), ZKSJE in sil udeležencev, se ta vozila lahko gibljejo po cestah in avtocestah brez spremstva pod pogojem, da ZMS(K), ZKSJE in sile udeležencev o tem kar najhitreje obvestijo slovenske oblasti.
f. Pripadniki EVPS (enote vojaške policije sile) in protiterorističnega oddelka so pri opravljanju dolžnosti pooblaščeni za nošenje in uporabo strelnega orožja za izvajanje vojaškega reda in nadzora nad območji, na katerih je nameščeno osebje ZMS(K), ZKSJE in sil udeležencev. Pri tem se uporabljajo mirnodobna pravila Nata (npr. uporaba sile v samoobrambi). Pravila, ki veljajo za slovensko vojaško policijo v primeru uporabe sile, se uporabljajo tudi za EVPS glede vojaškega osebja udeležencev vojaške vaje, kadar so na območjih vojaške vaje.

c. Za udeležence se ne zahteva zavarovalno kritje proti tretji osebi.
d. Zadeve v zvezi s škodo in onesnaževanjem se preiskujejo v skladu z VIII. členom NATO SOFA.
10. Smrt. V primeru smrti pripadnika sile udeležencev je pred vrnitvijo trupla v domovino ali njegovo odstranitvijo treba pridobiti dovoljenje organov DG. Kadar je treba opraviti obdukcijo, se DG trudi ugodno rešiti prošnjo države pošiljateljice, da se njenemu medicinskemu osebju dovoli sodelovati pri postopku. DG spoštuje navade in običaje države pošiljateljice.
