      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.

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.

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.

      In the new millennium Polish defence doctrine shifted. Poland’s accession to NATO in 1999 was followed by a deep transformation of Polish participation in international missions. The country’s contribution to UN operations has declined, whereas its involvement in NATO-lead and international coalition missions has grown.
