Patch EUBG (EU Battlegroups)

In July 2004, the EU decided to form the EU Battlegroups (EUBG), an initiative, which was especially advocated by Germany, France, and Great Britain. Also smaller member states were initially involved in the project, as it offered them an opportunity to take part to the European Union’s Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO). The EU Battlegroups are military units which have a higher degree of military striking power. The EUBGs are under the political and strategical command of the Political and Security Committee of the European Union.

The core of a battlegroup consists of one infantry battalion with smaller, supporting units. Additionally, depending on the mission, the battlegroup can be supported by units from other branches. Normally, an EUBG includes between 1500 and 2200 troops.
