On 15 October 2003 at 1100 hrs, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General James L. Jones, will inaugurate the new NATO Response Force (NRF) by handing over the NRF-flag to the Joint Operational Commander, General Sir Jack Deverell, during a small military ceremony at the NATO headquarters in Brunssum/NL.
The ceremony is the first visible event for this new NATO force, where representatives from various member nations’ contributing units will participate. The development of this force has become a centrepiece and an engine of change for the Alliance as it transforms and positions itself to meet the threats to security and stability in the 21st Century.
The NRF is designed to be robust, at high readiness, fully trained and certified and prepared to tackle the full spectrum of missions, including force. When NATO decides to employ it, the NRF will be ready to deploy in five days and will be able to sustain itself for 30 days.
Within one year, the NRF is expected to achieve Initial Operational Capability and to reach Full Operational Capability by fall 2006, ready to be tailored to a specific operation as required to include non-combatant evacuation operations, humanitarian aid, crisis response including peacekeeping, counter terrorism, and embargo operations.
