Special report 04/2025: EU military mobility – Full speed not reached due to design weaknesses and obstacles en route

Audit Description

This audit examined the progress made regarding the EU policy on military mobility, focusing on the EU’s second Action Plan (2.0) of November 2022. The plan was developed under time pressure, amid Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Overall, we conclude that Action Plan 2.0 was not built on sufficiently solid foundations. Progress towards the overall objective – ensuring swift and seamless movement of military personnel, materiel and assets at short notice and on a large scale – has so far been variable. To strengthen the EU’s impact on military mobility, we recommend improvements in different areas, including governance, funding predictability and the selection of dual-use infrastructure projects under the post-2027 multiannual financial framework.
