More than two years ago in Berlin, senior Bundeswehr officers initiated work on a classified document called Operation Plan Germany (OPLAN DEU).
This plan outlines the potential rapid deployment of up to 800,000 NATO troops to Eastern Europe in response to rising security threats. The scale and speed of this deployment would mark a significant mobilization effort by NATO forces.
The purpose of OPLAN DEU is to ensure readiness for a large-scale military response to any aggression in the region. Germany’s involvement highlights its growing role in European defense amid a tense geopolitical climate.
Operation Plan Germany represents a major strategic step by Berlin and NATO to bolster military presence in Eastern Europe, preparing for rapid reinforcement of allied forces.
