NATO and the European Union have announced a joint plan to significantly reduce military transit time across Europe from 45 days to a range of 3 to 5 days. This initiative aims to enhance the rapid reinforcement capabilities of NATO forces along the eastern flank of Europe.

The plan includes major upgrades to critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and railways, as well as improvements to border procedures. These enhancements are designed to facilitate quicker military movements in response to potential threats.

This development comes as NATO continues to focus on strengthening its eastern defenses amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. For further context, recent developments in international relations highlight the importance of rapid military readiness in the region.
