NATO APP-6a map symbols differ slightly to those of the US Military standard as shown in dot's link.

You can view a handbook detailing APP-6a (in PDF format within a ZIP file) although a better description of the symbology can be gleaned from its precursor APP-6, basically APP-6a without the colours and borders (also in zipped PDF).

An overview can be found here...
