The European Union Battlegroups Concept in the Framework of Crisis Management and Military Rapid Reaction Capabilities Theories

Abstract

The creation and implementation of the European Union (EU) Battlegroups Concept can be considered as an answer of the European Union to the changing security environment and to the newly emerging crises at the beginning of the 21th century. During the project development it was clear, that the new multinational force must be a rapid reaction force with the ability to response crises in a short time frame. To fulfill these requirements the Battlegroups Concept should fit to the crisis management and rapid response theories framework.
