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.

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: 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.

Together, we enable NATO’s deterrence and defence posture.

July in Review: This month brought Allies, partners, and civilian agencies together, reinforcing the importance of a whole-of-government approach, and strengthening credible deterrence and NATO’s collective defence. We celebrated the commitment and dedication of JSEC personnel – rewarding the hard work and professionalism which supports enablement, deployment, and sustainment, and contributes to strengthening NATO and maintaining a robust defence posture

Lieutenant General Kai Rohrschneider, Commander of NATO's Allied Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC), visited Romania to strengthen cooperation with key military and civilian partners in support of NATO's deterrence and defence.

Discussions focused on Host Nation Support, military enablement, and Romania's vital role in reinforcing and sustaining Allied forces across the Alliance. The visit also showcased Romania's strong Whole-of-Society Approach, demonstrating how close cooperation between military and civilian authorities strengthens resilience and readiness.

As a key Ally on NATO's Eastern Flank, Romania continues to play an essential role in ensuring that Allied forces can move, reinforce and sustain operations wherever they are needed.
