This week we welcome the accession of Sweden to NATO. For all JEF Participant Nations, NATO is the ultimate guarantor of collective security in the Euro-Atlantic area.
The JEF, from its inception, has been designed to complement both NATO and Participant Nations’ own response capabilities. The JEF is ready to respond in scenarios ranging from below the threshold of NATO’s Article 5 through to full-spectrum interventions during times of crisis or conflict, operating seamlessly with NATO. The accession of Sweden to NATO fundamentally strengthens the Alliance and the JEF, bringing greater operational synergies in Northern Europe and the High North.
As set out in the ten-year Vision, the JEF will continue to integrate with and contribute to NATO deterrence at all times, to strengthen our collective security and defence through bolstering national and multinational responses.
