Summary/Abstract: Military mobility in the Euro-Atlantic context is an essential strategic element for strengthening regional and global security, aiming to facilitate the rapid and efficient transport of forces and equipment between NATO and EU member states. In this regard, recent investments have focused on upgrading infrastructure and simplifying cross-border procedures to enable the effective deployment of forces in emergency situations. The projects initiated and managed by the European Defence Agency or under the PESCO umbrella in recent years, which aim to increase the functionality of military mobility corridors, connecting nations in Europe through logistics hubs, contribute to improving interoperability and rapid reaction in the context of current security challenges. Such a multinational logistics network optimizes the use of existing resources, with a focus on the development of dual-use (civil-military) transport infrastructures, while supporting preparedness for possible operations and increasing responsiveness and sustainability in the face of threats.
