NATO’s Readiness Action Plan In Action

NATO is undertaking more land, sea and air exercises and is creating a new task force, around 5,000 strong, which will be able to deploy with 48 hours notice to wherever it is needed. It's all part of the Readiness Action Plan (RAP).

At the NATO Summit in Wales last year, nations agreed to the creation of RAP to ensure the alliance is ready to respond swiftly and firmly to new security challenges.
 
It's the most significant reinforcement of NATO's collective defence since the end of the Cold War.
