MULTINATIONAL CORPS NORTH EAST  MULTINACIONALNI KOPUS SJEVERO-ISTOK

      1997. ministri obrane Danske, Njemačke i Poljske odlučili su osnovati dansko-njemačko-poljski korpus. Ovaj je korpus trebao dobiti naziv Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok (Multinational Corps Northeast, MNC NE). Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok formiran je 18. rujna 1999. u Szczecinu u Poljskoj, koji je postao njegovo sjedište. Razvio se iz dugogodišnjeg jedinog multinacionalnog korpusa u NATO-u, savezničkih kopnenih snaga Schleswig-Holstein i Jutland (LANDJUT). Trinacionalna radna skupina osnovana je nakon odluke iz srpnja 1997. da Poljska treba biti primljena u NATO. Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok ima ključnu funkciju u integraciji novih država članica NATO-a.

      In July 1997, Ministers of Defence of Denmark, Germany and Poland decided to establish a Danish-German-Polish Corps. This corps was to be named Multinational Corps Northeast. Multinational Corps Northeast was formed on 18 September 1999 at Szczecin, Poland, which became its headquarters. It evolved from what was for many years the only multinational corps in NATO, Allied Land Forces Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland  (LANDJUT). A tri-national working group was established following the July 1997 decision that Poland was to be admitted to NATO. Multinational Corps North East has a key function in the integration of new NATO member states.

      Od 2004. godine članice postaju Estonija, Latvija i Litva. 2005. Slovačka, Češka - 2005. SAD 2006., 2008. Rumunjska. Slovenija je 2009. godine ušla u obitelj MNC NE. U siječnju 2012. Hrvatska je službeno postala dvanaesta nacija Korpusa. U srpnju 2013. Mađarska i 2014. Švedska, koja nije članica NATO-a, poslale su svog predstavnika u Baltičku vojarnu. Godine 2015. turski, britanski, francuski i nizozemski časnici započeli su svoju dužnost u Szczecinu. Kanada, Island, Belgija, Norveška i Grčka pridružile su se Korpusu 2016. godine.

      Since 2004, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania become members. In 2005, Slovakia,  the Czech Republic - in 2005. The US in 2006, in 2008, Romania. In 2009, Slovenia entered the MNC NE family. In January 2012, Croatia officially became the twelfth nation of the Corps. In July 2013, Hungary and in 2014 Sweden, a non-NATO member, sent its representative to the Baltic Barracks. In 2015 Turkish, British, French and Dutch officers started their tours of duty in Szczecin. Canada, Iceland, Belgium, Norway and Greece joined the Corps in 2016.

      Ojačana prednja prisutnost (Enhanced Forward Presence EFP) je NATO saveznička vojna snaga za obranu i odvraćanje u srednjoj i sjevernoj Europi. Ovakav stav u srednjoj Europi kroz Poljsku i sjevernoj Europi kroz Estoniju, Latviju i Litvu je na snazi ​​kako bi se zaštitila sigurnost država članica NATO-a srednje i sjeverne Europe na istočnom krilu NATO-a. Države članice NATO-a dogovorile su se na summitu u Varšavi 2016. da proslijede četiri multinacionalne borbene skupine u područjima koja će najvjerojatnije biti napadnuta.

      Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP) is a NATO-allied forward-deployed defense and deterrence military force in Central and Northern Europe. This posture in Central Europe through Poland and Northern Europe through Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, is in place in order to protect and reassure the security of NATO's Central and Northern European member states on NATO's eastern flank. NATO's member states agreed at the 2016 Warsaw summit to forward deploy four multinational battalion battle groups to areas most likely to get attacked.

      Borbene grupe su multinacionalne snage stalno stacionirane u zemlji domaćinu i osmišljene da djeluju uz vojsku te zemlje i ojačaju je u slučaju sukoba. Podršku im pružaju jedinice vojski članica NATO-a koje se rotiraju kroz zemlju domaćina, ali ostaju pod direktnom komandom svoje matične zemlje. NATO je priopćio da su saveznici nakon početka rata u Ukrajini odlučili formirati četiri nove multinacionalne borbene grupe, u Bugarskoj, Mađarskoj, Rumunjskoj i Slovačkoj, kako bi pojačali odvraćanje na istočnom krilu NATO-a. Te borbene grupe i četiri već uspostavljene u istočnoj Europi sadržavat će oko 30.000 vojnika.

      The battlegroups are multinational forces permanently stationed in the host country and designed to operate alongside and strengthen that country's military in case of conflict. They are supported by units from NATO-member militaries that rotate through the host country but remain under the direct command of their home country. The NATO stated that following the war in Ukraine, the Allies had decided to form four new multinational battlegroups, in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia in order to bolster the deterrence on NATO's eastern flank. Those battlegroups and the four already set up in Eastern Europe will contain some 30,000 troops.

OPERATION ALLIED FORCE   OPERACIJA SAVEZNIČKA SILA

      NATO-vo bombardiranje Savezne Republike Jugoslavije (Operation Allied Force; Operacija Saveznička sila) trajalo je od 24.03. do 01.06. 1999. godine. NATO je 24.03.1999. godine u 20 sati počeo zračne napade na vojne ciljeve u SRJ da bi se kasnije udari proširili i na gospodarske i civilne objekte. U napadima koji su bez prekida trajali 78 dana teško su oštećeni infrastruktura, gospodarski objekti, škole, zdravstvene ustanove, medijske kuće, spomenici kulture, crkve i manastiri. Ekonomski stručnjaci iz Grupe-17 procjenili su štetu na oko 30 milijardi dolara. Konačan broj žrtava službeno nije objavljen, a procjene se kreću između 1200 i 2500 poginulih i oko 5000 ranjenih. Napadi su završeni 10. 06. 1999., nakon potpisivanja vojno-tehničkog sporazuma o povlačenju jugoslavenske vojske i policije sa Kosova i Metohije. Intervencijom NATO snaga, Vojska Jugoslavije se povukla sa Kosova i Metohije, iako je ono ostalo dijelom Srbije. Međutim, 10 godina kasnije, Kosovo je proglasilo neovisnost što je i dalje predmetom raznih kontroverzi.

      The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was the NATO's military operation against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The air strikes lasted from March 24, 1999 to June 10, 1999. The bombings continued until an agreement was reached that led to the withdrawal of Yugoslav armed forces from Kosovo. The Yugoslavs' narrative was that NATO's campaign was an illegal war of aggression as it did not have the UN Security Council's endorsement. The bombing killed about 1,000 members of the Yugoslav security forces in addition to between 1489 and 1528 civilians. It destroyed bridges, industrial plants, public buildings, factories, private businesses, power plants, water-processing plants. In the days after the Yugoslav army withdrew, over 164,000 Serbs and 24,000 Roma left Kosovo and many of the remaining non-Albanian civilians (as well as Albanians perceived as collaborators) were victims of abuse which included beatings, abductions, and murders. After 10 years Kosovo proclaim independance and still waitting to be fully recognize.  Less than 100 UN members recognize new state.

      Maslinove grančice i golubica su povezane sa misijom mira Međunarodnih snaga i promatrača. Obadvoje simbolizira nadu za mir u svijetu. Grančice su u obliku slova S što simbolizita sinajski poluotok.

      The olive branches and dove relate to the Multinational Force and Observers’ peaceful mission and the hope of peace throughout the world. The S-shaped configuration refers to the Sinai Peninsula as the place of service.

      Međunarodne snage i promatrači (The Multinational Force and Observers MFO) su međunarodne snage koje nadgledaju provođenje mirovnog ugovora između Egipta i  Izraela. MFO misija djeluje na Sinajskom poluotoku. 17. 09. 1978. godine Egipat i Izraela potpisuju kamp Davidski sporazum. Vijeće sigurnosti nije bilo u stanju osigurati vojne snage za provođenje nadzora, radi mogućnosti veta od strane SSSR-a, na traženje Sirije. Tada Egipat, Izrael i SAD „zaobilaze“ UN i sami, 03. 08. 1981. dogovaraju osnivanje ovih snaga. Do sada je u njima učestvovalo 13 zemalja.

      The Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) is an international peacekeeping force overseeing the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The MFO generally operates in and around the Sinai peninsula. On September 17, 1978, the Camp David Accords were signed by Israeli Prime Minister and Egyptian President under the sponsorship of United States President. The accords provided for a full Israeli withdrawal from Sinai. The President of the UN Security Council indicated that the UN would be unable to provide the force, due to the threat of a veto of the motion by the USSR at the request of Syria. Egypt, Israel and the US opened negotiations to set up a peacekeeping organization outside the framework of the UN. On August 3, 1981, the Protocol to the Treaty of Peace was signed, establishing the Multinational Force and Observers.

EUROPEAN UNION  EVROPSKA UNIJA

CZECH-SLOVAK EU BATTLEGROUP  ČEŠKO-SLOVAČKA BORBENA GRUPA EVROPSKE UNIJE

      Češko-Slovačka borbena grupa je jedna od osamnaest borbenih grupa Evropske Unije. Sastoji se od 2500 vojnika, od kojih je 2100 iz Češke, a 400 iz Slovačke. Ova je borbena grupa spremna u kratkom roku (deseta dana) biti raspoređena i do 6000 kilometara udaljenosti.

      The Czech - Slovak Battlegroup is one of 18 European Union battle groups. It consists of 2500 soldiers - 2100 Czechs and 400 Slovaks. The battlegroup is capable of rapid deployment in a region 6000 km far within 10 days.

EU BATTLEGROUP  BORBENE GRUPE EVROPSKE UNIJE

      Borbene grupe Evropske Unije (European Union Battlegroup EUBG) su vojne jedinice sastavljene u skladu sa programon Zajedničke sigurnosne i obrambene politike (Common Security and Defence Policy CSDP) Evropske Unije. Zasnovane na doprinosima zemalja članica, svaka od 18 borbenih grupa sastoji se od formacije veličine bataljona (najmanje 1500 vojnika) ojačanih elementima borbene podrške. Grupe se redovno rotiraju pa su tako po dvije aktivne u svakom momentu. Ove snage su pod direktnom kontrolom Vijeća Evropske Unije (Council of the European Union). Svoju punu borbenu pripremljenost su postigle 01. 01. 2007. godine, ali do danas nisu učestvovale u borbenim akcijama. Grupe bi trebale biti raspoređene u zone borbenog djelovanja za 5-10 dana i trebale bi biti sposobne samostalno djelovati do 30 dana, a nakon dodatnog snadbijevanja do 120 dana. Ove se grupe smatraju najmanjom samodovoljnom vojnom jedinicom sposobnom za djelovanje u zoni operacija.

COMBAT SERVICE SUPPORT BATTALION

Bataljon borbene podrške

      An EU Battlegroup (EUBG) is a military unit adhering to the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) of the European Union (EU). Often based on contributions from a coalition of member states, each of the eighteen Battlegroups consists of a battalion-sized force (1,500 troops) reinforced with combat support elements. The groups rotate actively, so that two are ready for deployment at all times. The forces are under the direct control of the Council of the European Union. The Battlegroups reached full operational capacity on 1 January 2007, although, as of January 2013 they are yet to see any military action. The groups are intended to be deployed on the ground within 5–10 days of approval from the Council. It must be sustainable for at least 30 days, which could be extended to 120 days, if resupplied. A Battlegroup is considered to be the smallest self-sufficient military unit that can be deployed and sustained in a theatre of operation.

Operacija nazvana ALTHEA počinje 02. 12. 2004. Slijedeći odluku Vijeća iz 12. mjeseca 2006, EUFOR je uspješno transformiran tokom 2007. Na terenu snage sada broje negdje oko 2500 ljudi, sa mogućnošću brzog ojačanja snagama EU. U Sarajevu je stacioniran multinacionalni bataljon, dok su po drugim regijama raspoređeni LOT timovi (veza i promatrački).

      U skladu sa Glavom VII Povelje UN-a, EUFOR nastavlja svoj mandat (potvrđeno i odlukom Vijeća sigurnosti 21. 11. 2007. rezolucijom 1785). Misija aktivno pomaže i ICTY-u u progonu osoba optuženih za ratne zločine. 19. 11. 2007. EU ministri donose odluku o produženju prisutnosti snaga EUFORA sve dok budu smatrali da to situacija na terenu zahtijeva.

     The Council of the European Union decided on 12 July 2004 (Council Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP of 12 July 2004) to conduct a military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in the framework of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). Operation ALTHEA in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was launched on 2 December 2004. Following a Council decision in December 2006, EUFOR was successfully reconfigured during 2007. The force now numbers some 2500 troops on the ground, backed up by over-the-horizon reserves. EUFOR is able to respond rapidly should the security situation require it. A multinational manoeuvre battalion is based in Sarajevo and EUFOR also retains its presence throughout the country through the liaison and observation teams (LOTs). EUFOR continues to act in accordance with its peace enforcement mandate under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which was renewed by the Security Council on 21 November 2007 (Security Council Resolution 1785). EUFOR actively continues to provide support to the ICTY in pursuit of persons indicted for war crimes. On 19 November 2007, EU ministers reiterated that the EU would retain a military presence in the country for as long as necessary in order to continue to contribute to the maintenance of a safe and secure environment.
