There has been talk of an European RDF since the 80's. Unfortunately this is what the politically correct fantasize about as being a true military. A kind of ten thousand man away team from Star Trek (I bet the Danes get the red shirts). This is more for the home crowd to show "we're doing something" and to counter political trouble. File under joke.

The argument over that will give them an excuse not do anything for 4-6 months.
