NATO Enhanced Forward Presence
NATO's Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP) is a military strategy to increase the alliance's security by deploying multinational troops to strategically located countries, primarily in Eastern Europe. This deployment acts as a deterrent against potential aggression from adversaries by showcasing NATO's commitment to collective defense. The presence of these forces reassures member countries, promotes stability, and demonstrates readiness to respond quickly to any security threats. EFP involves rotating units from various NATO members, ensuring a credible, adaptive defense posture without permanent basing.
