The Bundeswehr Joint Support Command ensures the integration of the Bundeswehr in NATO and the EU through military attachés, multinational headquarters, logistic support within NATO, and operational command and control for the European Union.
Close cooperation with allies allows for rapid force deployment throughout NATO territory, effective mission planning for EU units, military training assistance and multinational joint operations. For the Bundeswehr, strong international ties are indispensable. NATO and the EU provide protection to the Federal Republic of Germany in a world that is becoming more dangerous, and the Bundeswehr plays an essential role in this protection.
Collective defence begins with cooperation. National defence cannot succeed without effective integration into NATO and the EU.
The Bundeswehr Joint Support Command pools capabilities essential for multinational cooperation and the Bundeswehr’s integration in NATO and the EU. Defence attaché offices, Multinational Joint Headquarters Ulm (MN JHQ Ulm), and the Allied Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC) connect the Bundeswehr to worldwide networks and ensure its ability to honour obligations within the Alliance.
