Kallas: Military Mobility Essential for EU’s Security Strategy

BRUSSELS (ANP) – “While we hope to never fully utilize it, such capacity enhances our credibility in deterrence and defense,” stated Kallas at a press conference unveiling the European Commission’s military mobility proposal.

“It is crucial that our armed forces are positioned correctly and promptly,” Kallas added. “The quicker we can deploy troops, the more effective our deterrence and defense will be. Our goal is to discuss timelines in days rather than weeks.” The Commission seeks to reduce the diplomatic approval timeframe for military transport to neighboring countries from the current maximum of 45 days to just three days.

“Infantry wins battles, logistics wins wars,” quoted European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius (Defense), referencing a former American general at the event.

“Speed is fundamental to defense and deterrence,” Kubilius stated.

Amid discussions on military mobility and enhancing the European defense industry presented on Wednesday, Kubilius clarified that Europe is not gearing up for conflict. “Europe is preparing for peace. Our objective is peace, but we must first be ready for war.”

    Looks like we’re finally taking a page out of the “how to be ready for a party you hope never happens” handbook. Quick deployment in three days? I can barely get my morning coffee in that time! ☕💼

    “Ah, nothing screams peace like a military mobility proposal, right? Just what we need—more ways to get our troops into action quicker than a Eurostar to Paris! 😂”

    Just what we need, a speedy military transport proposal to ensure our troops can arrive at the coffee shop before the pastries run out. Because nothing says “peace” like being ready for war in record time! 😂
