Video: Why rapid deployment is important to NATO?

Rapid deployment is very important for NATO. It demonstrates NATO Allies' ability to react quickly and to defend each other against any threat from any direction. Brilliant Jump 2024, underway in Poland, validates NATO's capacity to do so.

In this video, the former British Army General who oversaw Operation Tractable in 2019, a mass deployment of UK soldiers and vehicles from the United Kingdom to Estonia, explains what it takes to move an army across Europe quickly.

Footage includes soundbites from Ivan Jones, Former Commander Field Army, British Army, and shots of UK troops, tanks and vehicles on the move.
