Multinational Operational/Tactical Headquarters – NATO-related

SACEUR has eight Graduated Readiness Forces (Land) Headquarters under Operational Command.

· Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) Headquarters in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom as framework nation.

· Rapid Deployable German-Netherlands Corps (RDGNC) Headquarters based on the 1st German-Netherlands Corps Headquarters in Münster, Germany.

· Rapid Deployable Italian Corps (NRDC-ITA) Headquarters based on the Italian Rapid Reaction Corps Headquarters in Solbiate Olona, near Milan, Italy.

· Rapid Deployable Spanish Corps (NRDC-SP) Headquarters based on the Spanish Corps Headquarters in Valencia, Spain.

· Rapid Deployable Turkish Corps (NRDC-TR) Headquarters based on the 3rd Turkish Corps Headquarters near Istanbul, Turkey.

· French Rapid Reaction Corps (FRRC) Headquarters based in Lille, France.

· NATO Deployable Corps Greece (NRDC-GR) Headquarters based in Thessaloniki, Greece.

· Multinational Corps Northeast (MNCNE) Headquarters based in Szczecin, Poland

Force packages, from brigade (BDE) to Corps size, are requested from NATO-member nations and aligned under these headquarters dependent upon the task envisioned.

Additional details on some of these organizations, for SIMULEX 2016 purposes:

Allied Command Europe Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) Headquarters

The ARRC HQ is meant to be a high-readiness force HQ (HRF HQ) for NATO or a land component command for E.U. military operations. The ARRC has the ability to lead high-intensity operations, crisis management and peacekeeping support operations, as well as humanitarian and other relief missions. The United Kingdom provides most of the staff assets, although Germany provides the operations section and Spain provides some civil-military support staffing. Command of the Corps is a U.K. three-star general, with an Italian two-star Deputy. The ARRC HQ and support elements moved from Mönchengladbach, Germany to Innsworth, U.K. in the summer of 2010. The ARRC’s major combat capability is intended to be provided by a mix of up to 11 ground combat brigades potentially available from a force pool of: 6 UK BDEs 2 German BDEs 4 Italian BDEs 1 Danish BDE

Rapid-Deployable German-Netherlands Corps Headquarters

The German-Netherlands Corps also is qualified as a NATO high-readiness force headquarters (HRF HQ), and was employed in Afghanistan in 2005-2006. The Corps can also be deployed as a land combat command for EU-led operations. Although smaller than the ARRC HQ, the German-Netherlands Corps HQ also has an ability to lead high-intensity operations, crisis management and peacekeeping support operations, as well as humanitarian and other relief missions. Germany supplies most intelligence assets while the Netherlands provides corps-level communications. Command of the Joint G-N Corps alternates between German and Dutch three-star generals. The German-Netherlands Corps is headquartered in Munster and its major combat capability is intended to be provided by up to of five ground combat brigades: 2 Dutch BDEs 3 German BDEs Multi-National Corps Northeast (MNCNE) The Multinational Corps Northeast headquarters is tasked with peacekeeping and crisis management missions. It is also responsible for collective defense operations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. The MNCNE headquarters is in Szczecin, Poland; its major combat capability is intended to be provided by up to four ground combat brigades: 3 Polish BDEs 1 Danish BDE

Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF)

The immediately available combat power element for NATO Rapid Response is a single Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF). The VJTF comprises a multinational brigade (approximately 5,000 troops) of up to five maneuver battalions from different contribution nations on a rotational basis, supported by small air, maritime and special-forces elements. If activated, the VJTF is expected to be available to move immediately, following the first warnings and indicators of potential threats, as a crisis begins, to act as a potential deterrent to further escalation. The rapid arrival of this small but capable military unit is intended to send a very clear message to any potential aggressor: “any attempt to violate the sovereignty of one NATO nation will result in a decisive military engagement with all 28 allied nations.”

Multinational Headquarters – EU-related

European Corps (Euro Corps) Headquarters

The European Corps is currently drawn from five member states: Belgium, France, Germany, Spain and Luxembourg. The missions of the Euro Corps are the common defense of the allied territory in application of Article 5 of the Treaty of Washington or Article V of the Brussels Treaty. Euro Corps can also be deployed for peace-restoring and peacekeeping missions, humanitarian and rescue tasks and tasks of combat forces in crisis-management. Furthermore, the Euro Corps is intended to serve as the central core structure for any eventual European armed forces, to constitute an instrument for the common foreign and security policy and a means of reinforcing the European pillar within NATO (EUROCORPS HQs has signed a technical arrangement with Allied Command Operations and therefore can also be committed to NATO missions). The Euro Corps is headquartered in Strasbourg, and its main combat capabilities are to be provided by up to 8 ground combat brigades: 2 German BDEs 2 Spanish BDEs 2 French BDEs

1 Belgian BDE 1 combined Franco-German BDE. Except for the French-German Brigade and the staff of the Multinational Command Support Brigade, which are permanently under operational command of HQ Euro Corps, all national contributions remain under national command in peacetime. They become fully subordinated to Euro Corps only after transfer of authority has been decided by the individual member states. Even then, the joint decision to deploy the European Corps remains the responsibility of the governments participating at that time. Although all member states of the Western European Union have been invited to join the European Corps, it is thought that -- if only for span of control and interoperability reasons -- it should not be enlarged beyond its present composition. Instead, it is now generally agreed that if more nations are interested in participating, consideration should be given to the possible creation of a second European Corps.

The following charts depict national military capabilities available in 2018.

The ‘total force’ columns represent the maximum military ground/air/maritime capabilities resourced by each nation. The ‘max equiv potentially available expeditionary’ columns reflect those forces which reasonably perhaps could be employed outside of the national territory within the next year (taking into consideration reserve mobilization and training times, supportability with available combat service support structure and national logistics, interoperability, commitments to home defense, etc.). [Note: any units to be committed as part of multi-national units, whether NATO-related or EU-related, must come – and be deducted – from this column.] Ground Ground Air Air Maritime Maritime

NATO MEMBER TURKEY -- played in SIMULEX 2016 by the “Turkey” player team. Provided here solely for “NATO” player team information purposes. The ‘total force’ columns represent the maximum ACTIVE military ground/air/maritime capabilities resourced by each nation. The ‘max equiv potentially available expeditionary’ columns reflect those forces which reasonably perhaps could be employed outside of the national territory within the next year (taking into consideration reserve mobilization and training times, supportability with available combat service support structure and national logistics, interoperability, commitments to home defense, etc.). [Note: any units to be committed as part of ‘standing’ multi-national units, whether NATO-related or EU-related, must come – and be deducted – from this column.] Ground Ground Air Air Maritime Maritime

Non-NATO Military Forces. Provided to “NATO” player team solely for information purposes. Ukraine

The Ukrainian Air Force established an automated command and control system for aviation and air-defense units and a common automated radar field system beginning in 2006 to conform to NATO standards. These are components of what is intended to be a fully joint command and control system for the armed forces. The air operations center, command and control center and warning center have been organized and structured, although construction of all the related facilities has not been completely finished. The Ukrainian navy continues to be based on former units from the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. Overall serviceability in the fleet is very low due to a shortage of funds and spares. Due to the ongoing hostilities with the Russian Federation, begun in 2014, Ukraine has greatly increased the size of its land forces to 204.000 soldiers, not counting paramilitary forces such as the border guards (53.000), or the new formed National Guard of Ukraine (60.000).

The ‘total force’ columns represent the maximum military ground/air/maritime capability resourced by the nation. The ‘max equiv potentially available expeditionary’ columns reflect the portion of the total force which reasonably could be employed outside of the national territory within the next year (taking into consideration reserve mobilization and training times, supportability with available combat service support structure and national logistics, interoperability, commitments to home defense or internal stability actions, etc.).
