What is a NATO troops? I did not know that NATO had its own standing army. Or does this mean that several countries did it together or the USA did it and NATO gets the credit?

Given that a Brit paratrooper died and that Brit Marines were also involved, it looks like this was a UK operation. No idea why they use the NATO designation in the press - but then I don’t know why the press does a lot of stuff.
