On land, at sea, or in the air, strategic mobility helps maximising the success of an operation by keeping the initiative and in order to contain a crisis or prevent escalation.
Strategic mobility : what about it ?
This technical name refers to the ability of military forces to transport material, human and logistical resources, quickly and efficiently, to theaters of operations.
💡 Strategic mobility enables to achieve the first movement by projecting forces outside of our territory in order to accomplish the mission where it is commanded to.
On land 🌍, at sea 🌊 or in the air 🚁, strategic mobility helps maximising the success of an operation by keeping the initiative and in order to contain a crisis or prevent escalation.
It requires the combination of various assets :
🛫 conveyance assets fit for operational needs;
🚂 identified and resilient transportation infrastructures, allowing movements under short notice as well as long-term;
🗒️ rules and procedures that are harmonised on national and international scale, in order to deploy forces in an allied frame.
The French forces have a solid expertise and maintain various skills for strategic mobility, whatever the way.

Estonian DefMin Martin Herem held a video call with French Defence Minister Catherine Vautrin to discuss strengthening our defence cooperation, Europe’s security and continued support for Ukraine.
They also discussed the joint declaration on deeper defence cooperation signed this summer — an important step in taking our partnership forward.
France is a key strategic partner for Estonia. French forces are based in Estonia as part of NATO’s battlegroup, training alongside the Estonian Defence Forces and other Allies.
Our cooperation goes beyond Estonia. We have served alongside France on international missions and work closely together in NATO, the EU and other international formats.
France has also contributed to NATO's Baltic Air Defence missions and to Estonia’s defence capabilities. The Estonian Defence Forces use French-made CAESAR self-propelled howitzers and Mistral air-defence systems. 🇪🇪🤝🇫🇷
