Defence alliance (4)

I believe the answer is:

nato

(Other definitions for nato that I've seen before include "N. Atlantic alliance" , "Security agreement" , "Atlantic alliance (abbr.)" , "Collective security alliance engaged in Bosnia" , "International organisation for collective security" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
