Military Mobility Area Spotlight: EST–LTU–LVA 🇪🇪 🇱🇹 🇱🇻

Our journey through NATO’s eight Military Mobility Areas continues with the Estonia–Lithuania–Latvia Military Mobility Area.

🔹 Where do we stand?
This is one of NATO’s newest Military Mobility Areas, with the initiative starting in January 2026. Since then, the three Nations have made strong progress, supported by close cooperation and engagement with JSEC.

🔹 What makes it special?
The Baltic region already benefits from a highly developed military mobility network. The EST–LTU–LVA MMA builds on this foundation and is now strengthening its connection to Central Europe through Lithuania’s link with the Central Northern European Military Mobility Area (CNE MMA).
The area also benefits from the participation of Canada 🇨🇦 and the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 as observers, adding further perspectives and opportunities for cooperation.

🔹 Looking ahead
The strong foundation already in place provides an excellent starting point for further development. The next step is to strengthen the connections between the Baltic region and Central Europe, ensuring that the different MMA initiatives contribute to a coherent and connected Reinforcement and Sustainment Network.
Strong networks. Close cooperation. Better connections.

Stay tuned as we continue our journey through the eight Military Mobility Areas on the road to the 5th MMA Coordination Conference at JSEC in Ulm, 22–24 September 2026.

Military Mobility Area Spotlight: ROU–BGR–TUR 🇷🇴 🇧🇬 🇹🇷

Our journey through NATO’s eight Military Mobility Areas continues — this time focusing on the Romania–Bulgaria–Türkiye Military Mobility Area.

🔹 Where do we stand?
The final report has been completed, marking an important milestone in the development of the area. After several years of work, the participating Nations have built a strong foundation for the next phase of military mobility cooperation.

🔹 What makes it special?
The ROU–BGR–TUR MMA has seen strong development over the years, supported by a clear and active leading role from Türkiye. The sustained engagement of the three Nations has helped drive the area forward and strengthen cooperation across the region.

🔹 Looking ahead
With the development phase now completed, the focus shifts towards implementation and turning the progress achieved into practical capability. The experience gained over the years provides a solid basis for further strengthening military mobility across the region and its connections to the wider RSN.
Strong cooperation. Sustained development. Ready for the next step.

Military Mobility Area Spotlight: ROU–BGR–GRC 🇷🇴 🇧🇬 🇬🇷

Our journey through NATO’s eight Military Mobility Areas continues — this time focusing on the Romania–Bulgaria–Greece Military Mobility Area.

🔹 Where do we stand?
The three Nations were the first to start developing a new MMA after the initial pilot initiative, making their area an early contributor to the expansion of the MMA network. The final report is still pending, while work continues across the participating Nations.

🔹 What makes it special?
A number of topics addressed by the ROU–BGR–GRC MMA overlap with work being undertaken in other Military Mobility Areas. This creates valuable opportunities to compare approaches, share experiences and develop solutions that can benefit the wider RSN.
The participating Nations are also actively involved in other MMAs, giving them a broader perspective on military mobility challenges and opportunities across different regions.

🔹 Looking ahead
As the final report is prepared, the focus will be on consolidating the work already undertaken and identifying how the results can contribute to the wider MMA network. The experience gained through involvement in multiple areas can help strengthen coherence, interoperability and cooperation across the Alliance.
Different areas. Shared challenges. One connected network.

Military Mobility Area Spotlight: Nordic MMA 🇩🇰 🇫🇮 🇮🇸 🇳🇴 🇸🇪

Our journey through NATO’s eight Military Mobility Areas continues — with a look at the Nordic Military Mobility Area.

🔹 Where do we stand?
The Nordic MMA has completed its final reports and is now moving from development towards implementation. The focus is shifting from identifying requirements and developing recommendations to putting them into practice.

🔹 What makes it special?
The Nordic MMA is unique among the eight areas: it is the only MMA also addressing the physical development of the Reinforcement and Sustainment Network (RSN). While the other areas focus primarily on the functional development of the RSN, the Nordic initiative also looks at the physical infrastructure needed to support military mobility.
The work is closely connected to the Nordic defence initiative, strengthening cooperation and military mobility across the Nordic region. High-level engagement is ongoing to support the further development of the area.

🔹 Looking ahead
The Nordic MMA demonstrates that military mobility requires both functional cooperation and the right physical conditions. The progress achieved so far provides a strong foundation — now the focus is on turning that work into implementation and tangible capability.

From development to implementation. From functional cooperation to physical capability.

Military Mobility Area Spotlight: CNE MMA 🇧🇪 🇨🇿 🇩🇪 🇱🇹 🇱🇺 🇳🇱 🇵🇱 🇸🇰

As we continue our journey towards the 5th Military Mobility Area Coordination Conference, we take a closer look at the eight Military Mobility Areas contributing to NATO’s Reinforcement and Sustainment Network.
Today, we focus on the Central Northern European Military Mobility Area (CNE MMA).

🔹 Where do we stand?
CNE MMA is currently the most developed and experienced Military Mobility Area. Having moved beyond the initial development of recommendations, the Nations are now gaining their first practical experience with implementation — a phase that brings new challenges and requires turning agreed approaches into tangible results.

🔹 What makes it special?
A key strength of CNE MMA is its strong multinational cooperation. The participating Nations meet regularly and work together at the same level. Every Nation has an equal voice and contributes to the common effort.

🔹 Looking ahead
The transition from developing recommendations to implementing them will not always be easy. But CNE MMA demonstrates what can be achieved when NATO Nations work together consistently, openly and on an equal footing.
From recommendations to implementation. From national solutions to multinational capability.

How quickly can Allied forces move across Europe when it matters most?

Military Mobility Areas (MMAs) are helping NATO Nations remove the practical barriers that can slow the movement of Allied forces across Europe.

The first MMA initiative, launched by 🇳🇱 the Netherlands, 🇩🇪 Germany and 🇵🇱 Poland in January 2024, is a prime example. The three Nations worked together to simplify and harmonise procedures along a key corridor from the North Sea towards NATO’s Eastern Flank. Its experience is now helping shape further MMAs across Europe.

The pioneering cooperation between the Netherlands, Germany and Poland is also visually reflected in the multinational leadership of JSEC today. Major General Detlev Simons, JSEC Chief of Staff, from the Netherlands; Lieutenant General Kai Rohrschneider, JSEC Commander, from Germany; and Major General Piotr Malinowski, JSEC Deputy Commander, from Poland represent three of the Nations that took part in the pioneering pilot initiative. The combination of these three nationalities within JSEC's leadership is a coincidence that provides a powerful visual illustration of the multinational cooperation at the heart of NATO's military mobility efforts.

Today, 28 Nations are working across eight Military Mobility Areas, coordinated by NATO’s Allied Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC). As part of NATO’s Reinforcement and Sustainment Network (RSN), JSEC brings the different initiatives together, shares lessons and supports the transition from developing requirements to implementation.

Over the coming weeks, we will take a closer look at each of the eight MMAs — the Nations involved, the corridors they connect and the progress they are making.
The series leads to the 5th Military Mobility Area Coordination Conference, taking place at JSEC in Ulm in September 2026, where Nations, NATO and EU stakeholders will come together to align the next steps.

Supporting the movement of Allied forces across Europe is at the heart of NATO's collective defence.

For JSEC, enabling the rapid reinforcement and sustainment of Allied forces across the Euro-Atlantic Area remains a core mission. Working closely with Allies, national authorities and partners, we help ensure forces can move where they are needed, when they are needed.

Every kilometre counts. Every movement matters.
