Summary/Abstract: A significant factor in the implementation of the security policy of the European Union (EU) is the European Gendarmerie Force. The treaty under which these forces were established has special legal significance. Global threats affecting the EU are forcing it to become more involved in their resolution. The European Gendarmerie Force is very important for the EU because it has integrated civilian and military capacities. This is one of the key requirements for successful participation in resolving current global problems. Within the European Gendarmerie Force, full membership is currently reserved only for gendarmerie forces from EU countries. Gendarmerie forces from other countries may have partner or observer status. The European Gendarmerie Force is one of the EU's "hard power" tools. This kind of power allows the EU to be visible in various conflicts and crises around the world. This visibility implies concrete EU actions on the ground. In certain missions, which are very complex, the EU has already started to engage the European Gendarmerie Force, so it can be assumed that these forces will increasingly be engaged around the world. Through the European Gendarmerie Force, the EU demonstrates its strength and asserts itself as a global actor in resolving conflicts and crises.
