EU Military Mobility ensures the seamless movement of military personnel, materiel and assets – including at short notice and at large scale – within and beyond the EU. With this objective, military mobility is at the heart of credible deterrence. Our aim is to create a well-connected transport network, with streamlined procedures for shorter reaction times, to increase the use of dual-purpose infrastructure, and to protect and increase the resilience of our infrastructure.
The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine has demonstrated the need to ensure swift military movements to enable our armed forces to respond quickly to threats and emergencies. Currently, complex and fragmented procedures impede military movements to slow and complex planning operations. To swiftly move a military convoy into and across Member States, the EU and Member States are taking concrete steps towards harmonised rules, pre-agreed transport routes, and interoperable digital systems.
