About this report
Dual-use transport infrastructure upgrades have become a pivotal operational line of effort to strengthen Allied logistics, sustainment and military mobility. This priority addresses the strategic problem that NATO Europe’s civilian transportation network – its roads, bridges, railways, ports and airfields – has not been fully prepared for the rapid movement of large forces and heavy equipment in a crisis.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 underscored this reality, as moving tanks, artillery and supplies across Europe revealed bottlenecks and frailties in infrastructure that hinder timely reinforcement .
Key questions this report answers
- What operational rationale anchors dual-use transport-infrastructure upgrades for Allied logistics, sustainment and military mobility?
- Which mission sets, theatres and force-posture/C2 requirements drive infrastructure readiness?
- What capability families and performance requirements address the bottlenecks exposed since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine?
- Which technology clusters, industrial base and structural bottlenecks constrain dual-use infrastructure?
