Summary/Abstract: One of the main deficiencies recorded in the process of achieving the Headline Goal 2003 was the lack of specialized and highly mobile forces with high mobility and able to take action under difficult conditions. Among the tasks set for this purpose is specified that EU Member States should be able to provide rapid response units capable of deployment and ready for action within a very short time. Later political decisions have led to the EU battle groups formation and the realization of that rapid response capability was seen as a European priority and an essential part of rapid response between the elements described in the Headline Goal 2010 document.
