As a multinational, fully deployable and highly autonomous headquarters, Eurocorps is prepared to plan and conduct military operations across the full operational and intensity spectrum by commanding assigned forces, as decided by the Framework Nations, to the benefit of international organizations, especially the European Union and NATO.

Created by France and Germany in 1992, Eurocorps is composed of 6 Framework Nations and 5 Associated Nations.  Since 2009, all those nations are solidly linked together by the Treaty of Strasbourg which confers Eurocorps its own legal capacity and makes it a unique truly multinational army Corps.
