Military mobility is central to ensuring the swift, safe, and efficient movement of military personnel and equipment across Europe — whether for operations, exercises, or daily activities. In 2025, EDA continued to improve cross-border movement procedures across land, air, and sea. EDA has completed the development of a new management platform to facilitate diplomatic clearances, the Military Mobility Air Portal (MMAP).
To streamline military requirements for customs processes, EDA is also assessing the use of electronic data processing to facilitate information exchange between armed forces and customs authorities. This work aligns with the European Commission’s regulation proposal/Military Mobility Package and the aim to develop a secure and restricted Military Mobility Digital Information System for all military transport permissions, traffic arrangements, and customs formalities.
Furthermore, EDA has carried out several studies on different modes of transport to identify gaps in infrastructure, assets, and areas where legislation needs improvement. Building on this, future areas of activity are now being analysed together with the Member States.
