"EU" Combat Block (Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Austria)

Recommended Posts

Ministry of Defence of Croatia, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and Austria are about to create multinational combat block "EU". It should be operational somewhere around 2017., when all the paperwork and preparations are done.

I dunno if this is going anywhere, but it probably is.

[sarcasm] Great, now we'll finally have a supranational military body to ineffectively engage real or perceived threats in and/or outside of European territory. Can't wait to have to pay extra taxes for "our guys" shooting people for dubious reasons. [/sarcasm]

I think this one is just another of the Battlegroups but with a fancier name, like the "EuroFor".

Great, another EU Battlegroup that cannot be deployed unless every single member agrees to it providing it fits into their economic, political and ethnical policy, which is never. It's good for training purposes since all countries are in the same region, but that's about it.

It seems that after these recent "events", many nations have started to improve their military-cooperation with surrounding countries.

Even Sweden and Finland have been planning such cooperation too inside NORDEFCO.

Would be the logic step IMHO.

Here is an another example for such organisation. Apparently it was even deployed in Kosovo and Afghanistan.

I dont understand why would they establish new EU multinational military units and not expand already existing ones.
