The European Union's (EU's) newly revised military mobility (MM) plan will focus largely on boosting Europe's intermodal transport connections, digitalising paper-based national border clearances for troops and materiel, and enhancing Western Europe's rail connections to Ukraine and Moldova, according to EU officials. Fuel supply chains and space services for Europe's militaries will also be addressed, they said.

“We plan to integrate the fuel supply chain needs for military transport into the requirements that drive the EU's infrastructure process,” said Stijn Mols, head of security and defence planning in the European External Action Service, the EU's foreign policy wing. “We have all seen in Ukraine the problems that emerge when military convoys run out of fuel.”

Mols and other officials addressed their comments at a 29 November hearing on MM by the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Security and Defence (SEDE).
