Nordics: "Together, these projects illustrate a change in NATO’s northern geography. Reinforcement depends on the capacity to unload a ship, assemble a unit, carry heavy vehicles across bridges & move freight through rail junctions already serving civilian economies" #eastofnarvik #militarymobility
Speed and scale of #MilitaryMobility operations is essential to deter aggression, to prevent war.
Member States alone cannot do it. Military & civilians alone cannot do it.
But as a Union – we can.
That’s why the Commission has proposed an ambitious military mobility Package.
With Jens Meier CEO of Hamburg Port Authority we discussed the Port’s contribution to Europe's #DefenceReadiness through industrial collab on site, #MilitaryMobility, energy resilience & security of infrastructure.
I welcome the plans for dual use investment in Hamburg harbour.
In my discussions w EU&NATO militaries - one conclusion: 🇪🇺 has to quickly fix problems in #MilitaryMobility.
W/LTG André Bodemann of 🇩🇪Bundeswehr Joint Operations we hope that Military Mobility Package will be adopted in 2026.
Reminder: COM proposed this package in 2025!
Today I’m in Hamburg focusing on #MilitaryMobility🇪🇺 NATO makes defence plans & determines capabilities needed. But those plans will work only if we can move soldiers&equipment across the continent – and fast. We need 🇪🇺 military mobility rules to defend Europe; we need Military Schengen.
Very much looking forward to reading this... #militarymobility #arcticmobility #totaldefence #highnorthberedskap. See also > bsky.app/profile/guyy...
We proposed an ambitious #MilitaryMobility package:
✅to make crossing of borders by militaries swift;
✅infrastructure of roads&railways ready for military transport;
✅guaranteed availability of transport means;
✅supply and defence of infrastructure - up to the needs.
Lithuania to seek EU funding for military mobility during its presidency #EuropeanUnion #lithuania #militarymobility
Our roads, ports and faster procedures are key to our militaries’ movement.
I discussed @ec.europa.eu proposal on #MilitaryMobility with NATO JSEC Commander Lt. Gen Kai Rohrschneider
Good cooperation with @eib.org for building #MilitaryMobility infrastructure across the EU.
Hope this continues as a contribution to the Member States’ enhancement of capabilities alongside the 🇪🇺 military mobility corridors.
