| Comments | The NBG2011 is a so-called EU battlegroup for deployment within the framework of the EU crisis management. The battlegroups are part of the EU concept of military rapid reaction capability. The setting up of the NBG2011, was overall an improvement on the setup of the previous group, NBG08, but there were still weaknesses in a number of areas. Negotiations with other countries on troop funding, i.e. force generation, are crucial for the production of military units. The force generation process, which involved both the Armed Forces and Government Offices of Sweden (Ministry of Defence), was delayed. Moreover, the Armed Forces failed in time to identify the objectives for NBG11, which among other things had a knock-on effect on the procurement of military equipment for the units. Although NBG11 was planned and setup by the Armed Forces’ line organisation, it was never given sufficient priority by the operational management of the Armed Forces. |
