Laced with the typical “Russia threat” narrative, Europe’s war hawks plan are planning:
Shared access to trucks, trains, ferries, planes, and ports for rapid troop and heavy equipment movement
Streamlined customs, harmonized rail gauges, and reinforced bridges to cut transit times
Germany as a key hub, leveraging Deutsche Bahn, Rheinmetall, and Lufthansa for convoys, maintenance, and pilot training
Potential creation of an EU-owned fleet of transport assets (despite budget constraints)
Registration of member-state transport capabilities and development of a “solidarity pool” for cross-border military support
The commission aims to propose infrastructure and procedural reforms next month, targeting an EU-wide military mobility area by 2027.
These plans appears to fit in with the Eastern Flank Strategic Partnership Act, unveiled earlier in October, targeting nine NATO allies — Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia — to "deter" Russia.
All these allies were picked based on their “direct geographic proximity" to Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine.
