Multinational Operational/Tactical Headquarters – NATO-related
Allied Command Europe Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) Headquarters
The ARRC is meant to be a high-readiness force HQ (HRF HQ) for NATO or a land component command for E.U. military operations. The ARRC has the ability to conduct high-intensity operations, crisis management and peacekeeping support operations, as well as humanitarian and other relief missions. The United Kingdom provides most of the staff assets, although Germany provides the operations section and Spain provides some civil-military support staffing. Command of the Corps is a U.K. three-star general, with an Italian two-star Deputy. The ARRC HQ and support elements moved from Mönchengladbach, Germany to Innsworth, U.K. in the summer of 2010. The ARRC’s major combat capability is intended to be provided by a mix of 11 ground combat brigades potentially available from a force pool of: 8 UK BDEs 2 German BDEs 4 Italian BDEs 1 Danish BDE
Joint German-Netherlands Corps Headquarters
The German-Netherlands Corps also is qualified as a NATO high-readiness force headquarters (HRF HQ), and was employed in Afghanistan in 2005-2006. The Corps can also be deployed as a land combat command for EU-led operations. Although smaller than the ARRC, the German-Netherlands Corps also has an ability to conduct high-intensity operations, crisis management and peacekeeping support operations, as well as humanitarian and other relief missions. Germany supplies most intelligence assets while the Netherlands provides corps-level communications. Command of the Joint G-N Corps alternates between German and Dutch three-star generals. The German-Netherlands Corps is headquartered in Munster and its major combat capability is intended to be provided by a minimum of five ground combat brigades: 2 Dutch BDEs 3 German BDEs
Polish/German/Lithuanian Corps Headquarters
Also known as the Multinational Corps Northeast, this corps headquarters is tasked with peacekeeping and crisis management missions. It is also responsible for collective defense operations under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. The MC-N Corps headquarters is in Sczezin, Poland; its major combat capability is intended to be provided by at least five ground combat brigades: 3 Polish BDEs 1 German BDE 1 Lithuanian BDE

Multinational Headquarters – EU-related
European Corps (Euro Corps) Headquarters
The European Corps is currently drawn from five member states: Belgium, France, Germany, Spain and Luxembourg. The missions of the European Corps are the common defense of the allied territory in application of Article 5 of the Treaty of Washington or Article V of the Brussels Treaty. It can also be deployed for peace-restoring and peacekeeping missions, humanitarian and rescue tasks and tasks of combat forces in crisis-management. Furthermore, the Euro Corps is intended to serve as the central core structure for any eventual European armed forces, to constitute an instrument for the common foreign and security policy and a means of reinforcing the European pillar within NATO. The Euro Corps is headquartered in Strasbourg, and its main combat capabilities are to be provided by at least 10 ground combat brigades: 2 German BDEs 2 Belgian BDEs 3 Spanish BDEs 2 French BDEs and the combined Franco-German BDE. Although all member states of the Western European Union have been invited to join the European Corps, it is thought that -- if only for span of control and interoperability reasons -- it should not be enlarged beyond its present composition. It is now generally agreed that if more nations are interested in participating, consideration should be given to the possible creation of a second European Corps. Except for the French-German Brigade and the staff of the Multinational Command Support Brigade which are permanently under operational command of HQ Euro Corps, all national contributions remain under national command in peacetime. They become fully subordinated to Euro Corps only after transfer of authority has been decided by member states. Even then, the joint decision to deploy the European Corps remains the responsibility of the governments participating at that time.
Rapid Reaction Force Headquarters
E.U. leaders have agreed to establish a RRF of up to six brigades to resolve conflicts, perform peacekeeping duties and humanitarian and rescue work. The RRF will operate under the E.U.'s European Defense and Security Policy. Germany has indicated that it is willing to provide 1-3 brigades to the RRF. NATO nations’ experiences of Afghanistan, however, have precluded resolution of numerous issues regarding command, transfer of authority, and willingness of nations other than Germany to commit to providing forces.

The following charts depict national military capabilities available in 2016.
The ‘total force’ columns represent the maximum military ground/air/maritime capabilities resourced by each nation. The ‘max equiv potentially available expeditionary’ columns reflect those forces which reasonably perhaps could be employed outside of the national territory within the next year (taking into consideration reserve mobilization and training times, supportability with available combat service support structure and national logistics, interoperability, commitments to home defense, etc.). [Note: any units to be committed as part of ‘standing’ multi-national units, whether NATO-related or EU-related, must come – and be deducted – from this column.] Ground Ground Air Air Maritime Maritime

Ukraine
The Ukrainian Air Force established an automated command and control system for aviation and air-defense units and a common automated radar field system beginning in 2006 to conform to NATO standards. These are components of what is intended to be a fully joint command and control system for the armed forces. The air operations center, command and control center and warning center have been organized and structured, although construction of all the related facilities has not been completely finished. The Ukrainian navy continues to be based on former units from the Soviet Black Sea Fleet. Overall serviceability in the fleet is very low due to a shortage of funds and spares. The land and air force changes are part of the Ukrainian armed forces' comprehensive reform and downsizing plan. Despite increased tensions with Russia beginning in 2008, the plan’s essential elements had been largely completed by January 2016.
The ‘total force’ columns represent the maximum military ground/air/maritime capability resourced by the nation. The ‘max equiv potentially available expeditionary’ columns reflect the portion of the total force which reasonably could be employed outside of the national territory within the next year (taking into consideration reserve mobilization and training times, supportability with available combat service support structure and national logistics, interoperability, commitments to home defense or internal stability actions, etc.).
