Military Mobility – A Present-Day Requirement –

"The current security threats identified in the vicinity of the European Union Member States generate new approaches in the field of collective defence, in close connection to the reanalysis of practical ways to implement mutual support and increase the military mobility of the allied countries, taking into account the multiple legislative and procedural implications, the need for well-founded analyses of the transit areas and the efficient use of the available transport infrastructure. Referring to the national approach, analysed from the perspective of the mobility-force protection binomial, the military mobility highlights the need to identify relevant solutions for approaching various obstacles, manoeuvring in the tactical field, ensuring the viability of roads and identifying routes to bypass inaccessible areas. Also, knowing the existing limitations in transport infrastructure and identifying the solutions to eliminate them are priorities for all the European states. In order to substantiate the decisions to increase military mobility, viewed from both a national and a multinational perspective, the military planners can use the mathematical models for the decision-making process under certainty conditions, which leads to viable well-founded solutions that can underlie the success of the military operations involving different structures of military forces."
