At the 2016 Warsaw Summit, it was decided to strengthen ‘deterrence’ as a fundamental tool for ensuring the defence of Alliance citizens.
Subsequently, at the Madrid Summit in 2022, the Alliance recognised Collective Defence as the first priority among the missions envisaged in the new Strategic Concept of the Atlantic Alliance (NATO).
Following the Russian offensive on Ukraine (Feb 2022), during the aforementioned Madrid Summit (Jun 2022), it was agreed to expand to eight Multinational Battle Groups (MN BGs) deployed on the Eastern Flank and their subsequent expansion capacity to the level of Multinational Brigade (MN BDE).
Spain's contribution to these multinational units is embodied in the MN BGs of Latvia and Slovakia:
