Please be the non-terrible acronym.

Following the disbanding of Sector Seven, N.E.S.T. (Either Networked Elements: Supporters and Transformers or Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty) was set up under William Lennox to create a combined United States Military/Autobot defense force against Decepticons. Though originally an American-Autobot military alliance, it soon expanded to include armed forces from the United Kingdom and other nations.

Fiction

IDW Transformers movie comics

After Wreckage and Starscream leveled Sector Seven's Nevada bunker, Captain Lennox tried to convince his dubious and hostile superiors at the Pentagon that the Autobots were indeed trustworthy and would be a valuable asset. His superiors impressed upon him that in order for the military to provide full disclosure, the Autobots must cooperate fully, and that the unit was Lennox's responsibility now. After the burial-at-sea of Jazz, Optimus Prime and Lennox agreed that for the protection of their mutual homeworld, they must trust each other and work together as a single team. Sometime later, the newly formed NEST command commenced training at the military base on Diego Garcia. Alliance #3

NEST had a baptism of fire against the Decepticon scouts Swindle and Dead End in San Francisco. Following that, it expanded to a multinational force and began taking on Decepticon agents across Earth. Every Decepticon encountered was destroyed, but NEST's victories were paid with the ultimate sacrifice, such as the loss of Salani. With Bumblebee redeployed back to the 'States as Sam Witwicky's guardian, NEST received a much-needed boost in Transformers ranks when Sideswipe and several other Autobots arrived to Earth. This joy was short-lived, however: the Decepticon Demolishor had been sighted in Shanghai, China. Alliance #4

Trivia

• NEST troopers appeared on Cover B of the Revenge of the Fallen prequel comic "Alliance #2" , but were nowhere to be seen in the story inside. This is because most of the covers illustrated by Revenge concept artist Josh Nizzi were meant to allude to scenes or situations in the actual Revenge of the Fallen movie itself.

• Diego Garcia appears to be a central base for NEST, at least for training alongside the Autobots. The native population of Diego Garcia were expelled from the island to make way for the joint United Kingdom/United States military bases. The Autobots are led by Optimus Prime, who believes freedom is the right of all sentient beings. Err...
