NATO Doubles Battle Group Deployment in Eastern Europe Following Ukraine Invasion

Alliance Readiness Enhanced with 300,000 Troops at Higher Levels of Readines

The Rapid Deployment Capacity #RDC distinguishes itself - in quality and quantity - from the EU #Battlegroups which, despite operational since 2007, were never deployed. With 5,000 soldiers, its composition will be modular and tailor-made to the context of the crisis at hand.
