Frontex is creating a new Quick Reaction Force, with Poland, Germany and Estonia discussing its headquarters location.
Purpose of Quick Reaction Force
EU officials announced Frontex’s plan to establish the new formation to enhance border security and tighten EU cooperation amid evolving threats. The Quick Reaction Force aims to enable rapid movement of significant resources between operational areas.
Frontex Prepares for Sudden Migration Pressure
Creating the Quick Reaction Force allows Frontex to apply more flexible counter-threat methods, particularly addressing challenges like sudden migration pressure risks. Approximately 2,000 Frontex officers currently work on EU’s external borders, with the standing corps projected to reach 10,000 by 2027.
