Summary/Abstract: NATO Response Force – NRF is designed to act as an entity that can easily adapt to the operational requirements to meet the security challenges to the Alliance. NRF missions focus on the principle “any mission, anywhere”, so that, in the current security context, they can successfully provide the practical and visible assurance of the Allies and convey a clear message related to NATO cohesion, force and determination, not only to promote deterrence but also to ensure collective defence. NRF missions, the chain of command and the decision-making process to deploy and/or engage forces demonstrate, in the authors’ opinion, the preponderantly defensive nature of NRF, its main role being that of deterring the actions of a possible aggressor.
