A military unit permanently on high alert able to jump into action immediately, whenever there is a need and a crisis is looming on the horizon: this is the new Rapid Reaction Force structure that NATO is expected to launch in Wales this week , as anticipated to the press by the secretary of the alliance Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
Quoted by the Wall Street Journal, Rasmussen has evoked a force capable of traveling lightly and striking hard, a structure capable of reacting very quickly, with very minimal warning times. Naturally, NATO already has a Response Force, but in the intentions of Rasmussen and the other leaders of the Alliance it is necessary to take a further step by putting in place a new, faster, more flexible and effective structure.
