(https://www.politico.eu/article/french-general-army-military-troop-movements-exercise-red-tape-russia-ukraine-war/), General Bertrand Toujouse points out that current mobility capabilities and logistics of the European army are unacceptable in the event of a possible armed conflict. If Russia hits 1 of the NATO members on the east flank, then US troops and those from the European countries must scope the theatre of action as shortly as possible, which is presently hampered. The main culprits are bureaucracy and infrastructure.
