The 'Joint Weißbuch on European Defense - Senior 2030' of the EU: An analysis of the logistical dimensions for European defense ability
Introduction: The indispensable role of logistics for the European willingness to defend
Modern warfare, shaped by high intensity, technological complexity and the need for quick reaction, places immense demands on the logistical skills of armed forces. Logistics and defense logistics are not only supportive elements, but also form the backbone of military surgical ability. They include the planning, implementation and control of transport, supply, maintenance and infrastructure that are necessary to generate, embarrass, maintain and regenerate armed forces. In specialist circles, logistics are considered a decisive factor for military performance; NATO describes it as “vital importance for every military operation”. The ability to bring material and staff to the right place at the right time and to supply there decides on the success or failure of military activities. The conflict in Ukraine impressively underlined this dependence on functioning supply chains, resilient maintenance and the ability to quickly lay forces and means.
Against this background, the European Union has presented a strategic framework with the common white book “On European Defense - Readiness 2030” (hereinafter “Weißbuch”) to strengthen the defense skills of its Member States in view of a rapidly deteriorating security environment. The declared goal of achieving a comprehensive “willingness to defend” by 2030 inherently implies massive logistical effort. Without a significant increase in logistical performance - from industrial production to strategic stock to military mobility - the goal of “Readiness 2030” remains a political declaration of intent without an operational substance.
This article analyzes to what extent the white book of this fundamental logistical necessity meets. He examines the specific measures and initiatives that are proposed in the area of logistics and defense logistics, identifies the challenges and declared goals recognized in the document and evaluates the depth and adequacy of the treatment of logistical topics in the context of their outstanding importance for the military performance of the EU and its Member States.

Logistics and defense logistics in the white book “Readiness 2030”: An inventory
The Weißbuch dedicates a wide space to the various facets of logistics and defense logistics, although the terminology vary and aspects such as supply chains or strategic stocks are often treated in the context of strengthening the European defense technology and industrial basis (edtib) or the support of Ukraine. A systematic review of the document reveals several core areas in which logistical considerations play a central role.
Eur-Lex-Document 52025JC0120-Joint White White Paper for European Defense Readiness 2030
Military mobility
The Weißbuch identifies military mobility as an “essential enabler for European security and defense and our support of Ukraine”. The need is emphasized to create an EU -wide network of country corridors, airports, seaports as well as support elements and services in order to facilitate the “seamless, fast transport of troops and military equipment in the entire EU and in partner countries”. In order to achieve this goal, the document calls for the simplification of regulations and procedures as well as prioritized access to the armed forces to transport equipment, networks and funds. Specifically, four priority multimodal corridors (rail, street, lake and air) for short-term and large-scale movements of troops and equipment are named within which 500 “hotspot projects” have been identified for urgent resignation, such as the widening of railway tunnels or the reinforcement of bridges. The goals include strengthening the deterrent and reactionability as well as the continued support of Ukraine, for which an expansion of the EU mobility corridors is proposed.
Lief chains and security of supply (Edtib)
A central concern of the white book is to set up a “stronger, more resistant industrial basis for defense” (Edtib). It is openly recognized that the European defense industry is currently unable to "produce systems and equipment" in the amount and speed required by the Member States "and is still" too fragmented ". In order to ensure security of supply, the document proposes measures to ensure the supply of critical preliminary work, including raw materials and key components such as chips, and aims at reducing strategic dependencies. Instruments such as the “Observatory for Critical Technologies for the Space and Defense Sector” and the planned “platform for the joint procurement of critical raw materials” should contribute to this. Long-term goals are the increase in production capacities, the reduction of dependencies, the creation of an EU-wide market for defense goods and the general guarantee of security of supply.
Strategic stocks and industrial readiness
The demand for a “strategic inventory of ammunition, air bodies and components as well as sufficient production capacities in the defense industry is closely linked to strengthening the EDTIB to ensure timely supplies”. The Weißbuch suggests to support the creation of strategic stocks and so -called “pools for industrial readiness in the defense area” by the program for the European Defense Industry (Edip). These pools are intended to include reserves of defense goods produced in the EU, critical components and related raw materials. The goals are to ensure timely replenishment, the quick replenishment of exhausted stocks of the Member States and the general industrial reaction ability in times of crisis.
Supporting services and enabler
The Weißbuch also names a number of “strategic enablers” that are essential for the implementation of the entire spectrum of military tasks. These include aircraft for strategic air transport and air refueling, educational and monitoring capacities, maritime location recording, the use and protection of space-based and other safe communication means as well as explicitly the “military fuel infrastructure”. The importance of infrastructures with a double intended use, which can serve both civil and military purposes, is also highlighted because they enable efficiency gains and contribute to general resilience.
The following table summarizes the logistical initiatives and suggestions of the white book:
Logistical initiatives and suggestions in the white book “Readiness 2030” include a variety of measures to strengthen military mobility, security of care and industrial readiness. For example, Europe-wide networks from country corridors, airports and seaports as well as 500 hotspot projects are to enable seamless and quick troop laying, while bureaucratic hurdles are reduced by simplified regulations. At the same time, interoperability is improved by the integration of Ukrainian corridors. A joint message and corresponding legislative proposals aim to create a coherent legal framework. The supply chains and the European defense industrial basis (EDTIB) should become more resistant by diversification of sources of supply and the identification of critical raw materials and components. An observation center for critical technologies enables early risk detection, while a platform for the joint procurement of critical raw materials is intended to increase supply efficiency. Strategic stocks of ammunition, air bodies and components are secured by coordinated reserves and strategically located deposits. Supporting services and enablers such as air transport, monitoring and safe communication are essential for military tasks. Infrastructures with a double intended use strengthen both the armed forces and economic networking. Comprehensive measures such as the Omnibus Ordinance simplify regulations, while Safe instruments provide up to 150 billion euros in EU-made loans to promote joint procurement and increase investments in defense skills. These initiatives aim to extensively strengthen the strategic, industrial and operational resilience of Europe.
The analysis of this elements illustrates a development in the understanding of logistics within EU defense planning. The white book does not treat logistics just as a purely supportive function that reacts reactively to requirements. Rather, it is increasingly understood as a strategic enabler and in parts even as an independent area of ability that requires proactive design, considerable investments and a long -term perspective. This manifests itself in the explicit naming of “military mobility” and “strategic enablers” (including military fuel infrastructure) as a primary area of ability to develop. The demand for “massive, preferred investments in the defense sector” and the creation of “predictability for industry” indicates an understanding that goes beyond the mere coverage and aims at the construction of robust, forward -looking capacities. Suggestions such as the “Omnibus Ordinance in the Defense area” aim to eliminate systemic hurdles not only for the defense industry in general, but implicitly also for their logistical performance and the efficiency of the supply chains. The initiative for the creation of “strategic stocks” on critical goods and “pools for the industrial willingness in the defense area” underlines this change towards proactive storage and capacity planning, which goes beyond traditional, rather reactive logistics. Together, these aspects signal a shift towards the view of logistics as an integral and designed part of the desired “readiness 2030”.

European defense logistics 2030: Overview of opportunities and construction sites
Analysis of the logistical dimensions in the white book: strengths and vulnerabilities
The white book “Readiness 2030” presents an ambitious framework for strengthening European defense logistics. A detailed analysis reveals both significant strengths in the strategic orientation as well as potential weaknesses and challenges in implementation.
Strengths the logistical strategy of the white book
A major strength of the document is the explicit recognition of the urgency of logistical improvements. The white book repeatedly uses formulations such as “as quickly as possible”, “immediately” and “urgent”, especially in connection with the increase in ammunition stocks and the upgrading of military mobility. This rhetoric reflects awareness that time is a critical factor in the current security environment.
In principle, the Weißbuch also pursues a comprehensive approach by trying to link various logistical aspects-mobility, industrial basis, strategic stocks-and to design it as part of the overarching “REARM Europe” plan. This integrative view is necessary because the individual logistical components are heavily dependent.
Another positive aspect is the clear focus on cooperation and joint procurement. The Weißbuch emphasizes the efficiency gains and cost reductions that can be achieved through common procurement, especially for consumer goods such as ammunition, but also more complex systems. The aim of jointly increasing 35% (later in the context of the European industrial strategy for the defense area (EDIS) to at least 40%) of the entire procurement of defense goods is a specific step in this direction.
After all, the highlighting of infrastructures with a double intended use (dual use) is strategic for military mobility. Such infrastructures that meet both civilian and military requirements are a win-win situation because they contribute to strengthening defense skills and at the same time promote civilian economy and connectivity.
Weaknesses and potential challenges
Despite these strengths, there are significant weaknesses and challenges that could endanger the successful implementation of the logistical agenda of the white book.
The financing of the ambitious goals is one of the greatest hurdles. The white book calls impressive sums, such as the safe instrument with up to EUR 150 billion of EU-saved loans or the potential of EUR 800 billion through the coordinated activation of the national alternative clause of the stability and growth package. However, the actual mobilization of these means, their targeted allocation and, above all, their sustainability remain insecure. External analyzes and in particular the special report of the European Court of Auditors (ECA) on military mobility (SR 04/2025) draw a sobering picture. The budget for military mobility as part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) was drastically reduced from the originally proposed EUR 6.5 billion to EUR 1.69 billion and, according to ECA, was completely spent at the end of 2023, which leaves a significant funding gap up to the next multi -year financial framework (MFR) from 2028. This discrepancy between the formulated goals and the real funds are a core weak point that undermines the credibility of the entire initiative. Without adequate and, above all, reliable financing, many of the logistical projects of the white book remain unreachable.
The coordination and governance of the diverse initiatives is another critical challenge. The Weißbuch pleads for “more effective coordination and steering between the Member States”, but reality is often characterized by national individual interests, different priorities and fragmented decision -making. The ECA report explicitly criticizes the complex and fragmented governance structure of the EU military mobility and the lack of a clearly defined central contact. The implementation of the logistical agenda therefore requires an exceptionally high level of political will to cooperate and the creation of more effective, possibly new coordination mechanisms that go beyond the previous approaches.
Bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles are named in the white book itself as an obstacle to military mobility. The planned “Omnibus Ordinance in the Defense area” should remedy this by, for example, easier to simplify the mutual certification of defense goods and accelerate approval procedures. However, overcoming deeply rooted national regulations and procedures - for example in customs system, the approval of dangerous goods transport or with regard to different infrastructure standards - is a lengthy and complex task. The effectiveness of such simplification efforts depends crucially on the consistent and harmonized implementation by all Member States.
A lack of concreteity and measurability pervades many of the suggestions. The Weißbuch sets the overarching goal “readiness 2030”, but often remains vague when defining concrete, measurable indicators or detailed schedules for the implementation of specific logistical improvements. A positive exception is the clear goal of supplying Ukraine with at least 2 million shots of artillery ammunition per year. However, the ECA report on military mobility confirms the general lack of indicators and specific targets in the action plan 2.0. Without clear benchmarks and binding schedules, it becomes difficult to measure progress objectively, to clearly assign responsibilities and, if necessary, to intervene if necessary.
In addition, some are less detailed in the white book critical logistics aspects for military performance. This includes:
- Comprehensive maintenance capacities: The white book mentioned maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) primarily in the context of support for Ukraine. An additional, comprehensive, comprehensive strategy for the maintenance of complex weapons systems of the EU member states itself, including a coordinated spare parts management and the structure of joint or networked MRO centers, largely lacks.
- Specific logistical personnel development: The need for talent promotion for the defense industry is generally emphasized, but the targeted training and further education of civil and military logistics personnel is not explicitly addressed as a priority.
- Detailed medical evacuation and supply chains: In view of the “real view of a large-scale war” described in the white book itself, this aspect is underhearded. The ability to rapid medical evacuation (CaseVac), such as it is developed by companies like ARX Robotics for unmanned land systems, and ensuring robust medical supply chains are of existential importance.
- Fuel logistics beyond the pure infrastructure: The “military fuel infrastructure” is mentioned as a strategic enabler, but there is no detailed explanations for the procurement, storage, distribution and protection of fuel resources in crisis and conflict scenarios, including the diversification of energy sources for the military.
These gaps in the detailed design could sensitively limit the operational operational readiness and in particular the perseverance of European armed forces despite progress in other logistical areas.
The following table systematized the identified challenges and gaps:
Identified challenges and gaps in the area of logistics according to the white book “Royalty 2030” and external analyzes - Image: Xpert.digital
According to the white book “Readiness 2030” and external analyzes, there are various challenges and gaps in the area of logistics. Inadequate and unsafe financing of military mobility leads to delays or even the failure of infrastructure projects and limits the reliability of forces. Likewise, general financing problems of the defense ambitions contribute to the fact that gaps in the ability remain, since required funds are not mobilized and dependencies on national budgets. Fragmented governance and a lack of coordination make it difficult to implement common projects, promote inefficiencies and, above all, double work, while bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles slow cross -border movements and make industrial cooperation difficult. In addition, the lack of concretization and measurability criteria make progress difficult to measure and lack the lack of accountability favors the watering of goals.
EU-wide underdeveloped maintenance capacities reduce the availability of weapon systems, extend downtime and reduce the lasting ability. There is also a lack of specific logistical personnel development, which means that specialists are missing for complex logistics tasks and resources are used inefficiently. Inadequate planning for medical evacuations and care results in avoidable losses, which negatively affects morality and combat power. Finally, gaps in detailed fuel logistics make the operational reach and maintenance capable of mobile forces.
The logistical transformation of Europe outlined in the white book is therefore faced with a fundamental dilemma. On the one hand, the need for a quick, comprehensive and cooperative strengthening of logistical skills is clearly recognized and addressed. On the other hand, deeply rooted national persistence threatens to undermine considerable bureaucratic complexity at the EU and national level as well as chronically unsafe and often inadequate financing. The Weißbuch itself admits the fragmentation of the European defense landscape, for example if it realizes that the EDTIB is "too fragmented" and "dominant national actors are mainly geared towards domestic markets". External analysis, such as the ECA report on military mobility or studies on the defense industry, which has already been cited several times, confirms these structural problems. National experts, for example from Austria, also express specific reservations or national interests that could conflict with smooth communal implementation, for example when taking Safe loans or in cooperation with the Ukrainian industry. The success of the logistical agenda of the Weißbuch depends crucially on whether it is possible to actually implement the much -tubular “cooperation dividend” and to implement political rhetoric into concrete, sufficiently financed and effective coordinated measures. This requires more than the instruments mentioned in the white book; A profound change in political culture and the commitment of the Member States are required to put national sovereign reservations back where common European solutions are obviously superior.

Security gaps through fragmentation: Europe's logistical future in focus
External perspectives and critical appreciation of the logistical aspects of the white book
The plans to strengthen European defense logistics in the white book “Readiness 2030” were analyzed and commented on by various external actors and experts. These perspectives offer an important critical appreciation and help to assess the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the proposed measures.
Financing challenges in detail
The ambitious logistical goals of the white book, especially in the area of military mobility, are in contrast to the previous financial realities. The drastic reduction of the budget for military mobility as part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) from the EUR 6.5 billion, originally proposed by the Commission, to just EUR 1.69 billion for the period 2021-2027 is a central point of criticism. In its special report 04/2025, the European Court of Auditors (ECA) stated that these already scarce funds were already completely spent at the end of 2023, which means a significant funding gap until the beginning of the next MFR in 2028. The ECA underlines that even individual large infrastructure projects that would be necessary for military mobility can be more expensive than the entire EU budget provided for this purpose. This underfunding endangers the timely implementation of urgently needed infrastructure improvements.
The SAFE instrument (Security and Action for Europe) presented in the white book, which is intended to mobilize up to EUR 150 billion of EU-assured loans for joint procurement, as well as the possibility of activating the national alternative clause of the stability and growth pact, which could potentially release another EUR 650 billion. Nevertheless, critics express doubts about the sufficiency of the proposed funds, for example for the European Defense Industry Program (Edip), and the general mobilizability of such large sums in view of national household constraints and political reservations about a “interchanging of debt”.
Strengthening the industrial basis (EDTIB) also requires massive investments. However, the persistent fragmentation of the European defense industry and demand as well as the high dependence on non-EU suppliers (almost 80% of the procurement expenditure of the EU countries flow to companies outside the EU), however, question the effectiveness of these investments as long as no fundamental structural reforms for consolidation and efficiency increase in the ed.
Military mobility - The critical analysis of the European Court of Auditors (ECA SR 04/2025)
The special report 04/2025 of the ECA is one of the most important external ratings of EU efforts in the field of military mobility and provides a sobering balance. The main criticisms of the ECA include:
- The Military Mobility Action Plan was not based on a sufficiently solid basis.
- The progress in implementation is variable and often inadequate.
- The governance structures are complex, fragmented and there is no clear central contact.
- Military and geostrategic aspects were not sufficiently taken into account when choosing dual-use infrastructure projects.
- There is a lack of clear indicators, targets and schedules, which makes effective surveillance difficult.
- The funds are not only inadequate, but also completely bound to the current MFR period, which leads to a multi-year financing gap.
The findings of the ECA undermine the partially optimistic representation in the white book and indicate profound structural and conceptual problems with one of the core projects of European defense logistics. The discrepancy between the political ambitions and the reality of implementation becomes particularly clear here.
NATO-EU cooperation in logistics
The Weißbuch emphasizes the need for close cooperation and complementarity with NATO. This cooperation is already established and institutionalized in the area of military mobility and in the development of defense skills, for example through the structured dialogue for military mobility. The challenges continue to be the avoidance of duplications, the guarantee full of interoperability and the clear definition of the respective roles. The EU is increasingly seen as a “defense enabler”, which can support the implementation of NATO plans through its regulatory and financial instruments, especially in military mobility and strengthening industrial readiness. Different memberships and institutional cultures can still generate friction points.
Subders and measurability
The criticism of the vague of schedules and measurable indicators in the white book is supported by external observations. The general goal “Readiness 2030” offers a horizon, but for many specific logistical improvements there are no concrete stage destinations. The ECA explicitly confirms this deficiency for the action plan for military mobility. An exception is to create at least 40% of the defense goods together (originally 35%), but the achievement of which depends on numerous factors and whose progress must be followed precisely. Experts like Roland Berger emphasize the need for faster procurement processes and industrial agility, which underlines urgency, but also illustrates the challenge of naturally lengthy infrastructure and armor projects.
Expert opinions on specific logistical aspects
Interesting military experts and industrial representatives provide further important perspectives. For example, the former commander of the US Army Europe, General Ben Hodges, repeats the defective European infrastructure (especially inadequate bridges, too tight tunnels, incompatible rail networks) as one of the greatest obstacles to fast military mobility in Europe. He also warns of Europe's critical dependence on strategic transport capacities (e.g. heavy air transport aircraft, military cargo ships). This analysis supports the demands of the white book for massive infrastructure investments, but at the same time asks the question of scalability and the time frame for the structure of genuinely strategic relocation.
The developments in the field of new technologies, such as the company Arx Robotics, with its unmanned land systems for material transport and medical evacuation (CASEVAC), show the disruptive potential for defense logistics. The Weißbuch mentions AI and drones as important areas of ability, but the concrete integration of these technologies into comprehensive, modernized logistics concepts and processes could be more detailed and visionary in the document.
These external analyzes, in particular the detailed and critical report of the European Court of Auditors, act as an important reality check for the ambitions formulated in the white book. They clearly show that between the political goals - such as seamless and fast military mobility - and the current implementation reality, which is characterized by inadequate financing, fragmented governance and continuing bureaucratic hurdles, gaps a significant gap. This gap is not only technical or financial nature, but roots deeply in the complex structure of the European Union, the different national priorities and the challenge of moving 27 sovereign states into a coherent and determined action. The Weißbuch names many of the problems correctly, but the proposed solutions could not be sufficient given the depth and persistence of these structural problems in order to achieve the “readiness 2030” in the desired form. The overcoming of this discrepancy requires a fundamental effort that goes beyond the measures outlined in the white book and presupposes real change in the political will and in the cooperation culture of the Member States.
Conclusions and recommendations to strengthen the logistical performance of Europe
Summary evaluation
The white book “On European Defense - Readiness 2030” marks an important and necessary step in the development of a more coherent European defense policy. It explicitly recognizes the strategic importance of logistics for military performance and suggests a number of initiatives that address core areas such as military mobility, industrial capacity and strategic stock. The strength of the document lies in the comprehensive problem description of the current deficits and the clearly formulated political commitment to remedy it through increased cooperation and investments.
However, the weaknesses of the white book manifest themselves in the often lack of concretization of many proposed measures, in particular with regard to detailed timetable and measurable goals. The financing issues for the ambitious goals remain in many areas, prominently in military mobility, precarious and unsolved. Continuous challenges through national fragmentation, divergent interests of the member states and deeply rooted bureaucratic hurdles represent considerable risks for the successful implementation. It is also noticeable that the white book tends to be the “hardware” of logistics- i.e. infrastructure, material and industrial capacity- more emphasized than the “software”, the aspects and specialized personnel, integrated and further education Logistical processes and a common doctrine development.
Most promising approaches and greatest risks
The most promising approaches in the White Book include the forcing of the common procurement, in particular ammunition and other consumer goods, the focus on the expansion of infrastructures with a double intended use, the planned omnibus regulation to simplify regulations in the defense area and the initiatives for the strategic storage of critical raw materials and components. These measures have the potential to increase efficiency, reduce costs and increase the resilience of European supply chains.
The greatest risks to the success of the logistical agenda of the white book lie in the potential failure due to the inadequate or non -sustainable financing of the projects, in the blockade of important initiatives through national conflicts of interest or conflicts of interest, in the insufficient overcoming overcoming bureaucratic and regulatory obstacles as well as in the absence of the hoped -for industrial high run at the required speed and in the necessary extent. Another risk that should not be underestimated is that of a pure “symbolic policy” in which ambitious plans and programs are announced, but they are not inferior and implemented with the necessary consequence, the necessary means and the political assumption.
Concrete, expert -based recommendations
- Prioritization and sequencing of the measures: In view of the large number of proposed initiatives and limited resources, a clear prioritization is essential. The logistical projects should be provided with measurable intermediate destinations in a staggered, realistic schedule. Not all goals can be pursued with the same intensity at the same time; A focus on the most critical ability gaps and enabler is offered.
- Sustainable and adequate financing ensure: In addition to the instruments mentioned in the Weißbuch, reliable, long -term and, above all, sufficiently dimensioned financing mechanisms for key areas such as military mobility and industrial transformation must be created. The recommendations of the European Court of Auditors to improve the predictability and strategic direction of the financing should be implemented urgently. This could also include the examination of innovative financing models, including the European investment bank and the private sector.
- Strengthen and simplify governance structures: The establishment of clear responsibilities and an effective, possibly centralized coordination mechanism for overarching logistics topics, especially for military mobility. The aim must be to overcome the fragmentation of the responsibilities criticized by the ECA and to enable faster, more coherent decisions.
- Promoting the development of logistics personnel: The EU should create a specific supporting program or an initiative to promote the training and further education of civil and military logistics staff. This should include the harmonization of training standards, the exchange of best practices and the creation of European competence centers for defense logistics, based on the diverse requirements of modern logistics.
- Understand maintenance as a strategic ability: it is necessary to develop a comprehensive EU-wide strategy for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). This must go beyond the ad hoc support for Ukraine and promote the structure of common or networked MRO centers for complex weapons systems in order to maximize availability and maintenance.
- Systematically increase resilience of logistical supply chains: A continuous, detailed analysis of critical logistical supply chains is required to identify and reduce dependencies. This includes the diversification of sources of delivery, the promotion of domestic production of key components and the inclusion of civilian actors and international partners, as indicated in the white book.
- Deepen and concretize NATO cooperation in the logistics sector: Cooperation with NATO must go beyond general declarations of intent. Specific measures for further harmonization of standards, procedures and systems in the logistics area are necessary to avoid duplicate work and to fully exploit synergies, for example in the use of mobility corridors or in the storage.
- Accelerate integration of new technologies into logistics: The potential of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, autonomous systems and big data analysis for increasing efficiency and modernizing defense logistics must be used more consistently through targeted research and development programs and by pilot projects and aids.
The implementation of the logistical ambitions formulated in the white book “Readiness 2030” ultimately requires more than just financial means, technological solutions or new institutional arrangements. A fundamental paradigm shift towards a real “logistics culture” is required at European level. This means that logistics no longer consider it as a subordinate support function, but rather as an integral and decisive part of any defense policy planning and ability development from the start. It requires the willingness to break up national silos, to share information more transparently and to establish a mentality of the common responsibility for the logistical performance of the Union. The underestimation of logistics, as it has often been observed in the past, can no longer afford Europe in view of the current and future security policy challenges. The white book showed the way; The consistent implementation now decides on the credibility and effectiveness of European defense efforts.
