In European Union, the project for some people (or the utopia for other) of a common European defense is frequently in the heart of the debate.

In this battlegroup, Poland will assume the role of framework nation. Each country will lead in a specific area, for exemple Hungary will be responsible for engineering, medical support, and reconnaissance, and Poland, as the framework nation, will have a leading in command and control, among other responsibilities.

A battle group already exists in Europe, it's composed of 19 batalions of about 1500 men, but for the moment, it hasn't be send in mission out of the European Union territory.
