Summary/Abstract: CJTF is designed in order to ensure the flexibility of NATO military forces. Moreover, CJTF has tried to make the concept of group of forces permanent as well as to make it the modus operandi of the Alliance and a standby capability for peacekeeping missions, peace enforcement and contingency operations, favouring NATO’s circumstances for a rapid reaction, with an initial deployment period within 30 days. NRF is a reflection of the Alliance’s way of adapting to the incertitude of the future security environment and it illustrates the way of using expeditionary operations in this new security environment. The author reckons that, in its essence, the NRF initiative is designed as a means to provide the Alliance with a robust and agile military tool, which is able, at the same time, to induce an expeditionary attitude among the European allies.
