Find out more.SynopsisAt the NATO Summit in Madrid, Leaders agreed new measures to strengthen NATO’s deterrence and defence, in light of the most serious security crisis we are facing in decades. As part of the biggest overhaul of NATO’s collective defence and deterrence since the Cold War, NATO will boost its high-readiness forces to more than 300,000 troops. NATO battlegroups in the eastern part of the Alliance will be strengthened, enhancing them up to brigade level. Under the new plans, the Alliance will also set up more pre-positioned equipment and weapons stockpiles, as well as more forward-deployed capabilities, including air defence, and strengthened command and control. Finally, NATO will have pre-assigned forces to defend specific Allies, allowing for a much faster reinforcement in case of crisis.Transcript— TEXT ON SCREEN —NATO IS STRENGTHENINGITS DEFENCES WITH NEW MEASURESTO BETTER PROTECT ALLIED CITIZENS#1STRONGERMULTINATIONAL BATTLEGROUPSUP TO BRIGADE LEVEL #2 MORE THAN 300,000 TROOPSAT HIGH LEVEL OF READINESS ON LAND AT SEA AND IN THE SKIES#3PRE-POSITIONED STOCKS OFWEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT BOOSTING NATO’S ABILITYTO RESPOND TO ANY THREATAT VERY SHORT NOTICE-END-MusicBigger Ideas by Enrico CacaceUsage rightsThis media asset is free for editorial broadcast, print, online and radio use.
