جنرال فرنسي ينتقد التعقيدات الإدارية في نقل المعدات والأسلحة للقوات المتحالفة في أوروبا

A French general has criticized the bureaucratic red tape involved in moving equipment and weapons to allied troops in Europe. General Bertrand Toujouse, in an interview with Politico, stated that European countries need to change their approaches to military logistics in order to better prepare for the rapid movement and deployment of allied forces in the event of Russian aggression. Current obstacles to swift movement include lengthy administrative processes, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of transport capacity. Toujouse suggests starting with improving the railroad infrastructure, as it is the most practical way to move tanks around. However, he acknowledges that improving military mobility won’t be easy due to national prerogatives in transport and customs rules.

NATO has been developing corridors to move troops and weapons to the eastern flank of the alliance in the event of war with Russia. Norway, Finland, and Sweden have agreed to create a cross-border military transport corridor to facilitate the transfer of military equipment and personnel between the countries.
