EU Military Action Plan


EU Military Action Plan 
     The EU has long worked diligently to improve our military capabilities and has moved up in the defense world significantly within the last decade. We made our presence known between 2003 and 2004 after successfully sending police and military forces into Bosnia and the former Yugoslavic Republic of Macedonia with a peace-enforcement mandate. Since then, our leading countries in defense include Germany, Italy, the UK, and France, which use 70 percent of our military funding. The only EU nation not a member the European Defence Agency based in Brussels is Denmark.                                                                        

      At this point, we provide a fully prepared military for any small and most large-scale operations. While our military strength is constantly compared to the U.S., who physically has more artillery, the UK and other member countries hold strong alliances with this super power. We will use this to our advantage if needed, but remain a strong group of nations ready to defend or deploy if appropriate. Because the EU lacks many permanent command/control centers for military, our larger member states named above take control of more complicated operations. These leading nations are key attributes however, as they help organize resources from smaller member nations as well.                                      

     Our military scientists are to thank for our strength in this sector and they continue to release new technologies to date. While our new equipment will not be used in active duty yet, let it be known that the EU is capable of defending all of our territory effectively.                                                               

     The current humanitarian forces from the UK in Libya prove we have the ability to efficiently aid outside nations, while maintaining relative peace in our member countries. We must not grow wary from the recent death of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three others however. Though the EU strongly condemns the killing of these US diplomats, our forces will continue their work and do our best to prevent another event like this from occurring. It is important that our commitment to helping the Libyan citizens remains strong and our forces continue their work with positive hopes for the future. Additionally, we will take extra caution in ensuring the EU official’s safety at the offices in Tripoli.                                    

     Our plan of action for the time being will be to continue our current military aid efforts in other nations outside of our territory as well as our work with NATO. Military scientists will continue to develop and test new technology for the nations, but it will not be used in our current missions yet. While we have improved in our military operations dramatically, it is important that we do not get ahead of ourselves. We are strong nations ready to take on any challenge, but will do so wisely.
