Military Mobility in Europe: cooperation going in the right direction

The European Defence Agency (EDA) organised a ‘High Level Symposium’ on military mobility at the Royal Higher Institute for Defence in Brussels.

The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has launched a call for proposals under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for Transport programme, making EUR 790 million available from the military mobility envelope. This call aims to co-fund projects that address both civilian and defence needs in view to adjust sections of the TEN-T network to the technical requirements on dimensions and capacity to address both civilian and defence dual use. This call is in line with the Action Plan on Military Mobility 2.0 aiming to facilitate the movements of armed forces in Europe to respond better, more rapidly and at sufficient scale to crises erupting at the EU’s external borders and beyond.

If, in peacetime, a large, well-armed neighbour were to prepare a ground offence against NATO and the European Union, how long would it take Western militaries to reinforce Europe’s eastern flank? Would bridges be able to carry tanks and heavy weapons’ systems and pass through tunnels? How would national border guards handle large convoys of military vehicles or ammunition? Would the existing EU legislation support this movement?
