Improving military mobility is a key EU initiative launched in November 2017. This initiative exploits civilian-military synergies to improve the mobility of military personnel, materiel and equipment for routine activities and during crisis and conflict, within and beyond the EU, by all transport modes and in all strategic directions. It will enable the EU Member States to act faster and more effectively in the context of the Common Security and Defence Policy, national and multinational activities.

The Commission and the High Representative presented the Action Plan on Military Mobility in March 2018. The Action Plan outlines concrete steps and timelines, focusing on the Union's added value in helping and facilitating the EU Member States' efforts to improve military mobility. The present report describes the substantial and tangible progress achieved so far and the way forward.
