About this report
Military mobility is the material test of European defence readiness. Europe may increase defence spending, expand force structures and strengthen deterrence plans, but those commitments become operationally credible only if forces, heavy equipment, ammunition, fuel, spare parts and medical supplies can move rapidly across borders, railways, roads, bridges, tunnels, ports, airports and customs regimes.
The central problem is not the absence of transport infrastructure. It is the gap between a dense civilian transport network and a military-usable logistics system capable of sustaining large-scale movement under crisis or wartime conditions.
