The Brigade/Division Reinforcement Architecture is a central operational effort in NATO’s renewed forward defence strategy along its eastern flank. It refers to the system of forces, structures and plans enabling the rapid scaling-up of NATO’s deployed combat units – from multinational battlegroups to full brigade and even division-strength formations – in response to a crisis or attack.
This priority emerged from the clear recognition, after Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, that NATO must be able to reinforce its frontline Allies quickly and in strength .
