As part of our continuous commitment to readiness, #HQEurocorps is gearing up for the internal exercise COMMON TENACITY 26 (CT26).
CT26 is an operational-level Command Post Exercise (CPX). It is designed to train our HQ staff in planning and executing a NATO non-Article 5 Multi-Domain Crisis Response Operation, preparing Eurocorps to fully assume the role of a Joint Task Force Headquarters (JTF HQ). This week, we kicked off the CT26 Academics, a vital milestone in our education and training roadmap. This academic phase ensures that all HQ EC staff are perfectly aligned, sharp, and ready to tackle the complexities of the upcoming CPX.

After seeing how the Élysée Treaty laid the foundations for joint defense, in this post we explore how that alliance took the decisive step toward multinational military cooperation with the Eurocorps.

The story of European defense took a monumental step forward through Franco-German cooperation. What began as a historic handshake evolved into the ultimate model of multinational military synergy.
As a Franco-German Army Corps with a truly European character, Eurocorps represents a major milestone in the evolution of multinational military cooperation.
The creation of the Franco-German Brigade was an important step in strengthening European defence cooperation, while the establishment of Eurocorps took this cooperation to a broader multinational level.

How a 1963 Treaty Helped Lay the Foundation for European Defense — and Paved the Way for Eurocorps

The Élysée Treaty, signed in 1963 by Charles de Gaulle and Konrad Adenauer, is widely known as a milestone in Franco-German reconciliation.

But its significance went beyond diplomacy. By establishing closer cooperation between France and Germany in foreign affairs and defense, it helped lay the groundwork for deeper European defense cooperation.

Here is how a treaty signed more than 60 years ago helped shape European defense:

• A Framework for Defense Cooperation: The treaty called on France and Germany to bring their strategic and tactical doctrines closer together, paving the way for increasingly structured military cooperation.

• The Franco-German Brigade: Established in 1989, the brigade turned bilateral cooperation into a concrete multinational military formation, with French and German soldiers serving within a shared command structure.

• The Creation of Eurocorps: In 1992, François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl took cooperation a step further by deciding to establish Eurocorps. The Franco-German Brigade was subsequently placed under Eurocorps command. Other countries later joined, transforming what began as a Franco-German initiative into a broader multinational structure.

• From Cooperation to Deployment: Over the decades, Eurocorps has evolved into a multinational headquarters capable of supporting operations and missions within NATO and EU frameworks.

From reconciliation to military integration, the Élysée Treaty helped set in motion a process of cooperation that continues to shape European defense today.

The 2026 induction week has concluded at Eurocorps designed to provide new headquarters members with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills required to carry out their new duties.

The program included briefing sessions that offer an overview of Eurocorps' structure, procedures, and ongoing and future operational activities, as well as the roles and responsibilities of each section. This comprehensive training ensures that all participants are well-prepared to contribute efficiently and securely to this military organization from day one.

The Commander of Eurocorps, Lieutenant General Lázaro, urged everyone to work together, particularly to meet the challenges of the commitments made to the European Union and NATO: “We must maintain the spirit of Eurocorps to stay prepared for the future”.

Welcome to the team, and best wishes for this new endeavor!

Artillery is more than just firepower — it’s one of the key systems that helps shape the battlefield. From supporting troops at long range to providing precision strikes, artillery has played a major role in military operations for centuries and continues to evolve with modern technology. #EUProtec #EUDefence #MILEX26 @emadmde

Responsibility is indivisible, accepting it is a privilege.

During MILEX 26, EUROCORPS serves as the Force Headquarters (F) HQ of the EUBG. In this role, EUROCORPS is responsible for the operational-level planning, command, and control of the deployed forces during the exercise. Working closely with the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) in Brussels, EUROCORPS ensures the coordination and execution of military activities throughout MILEX 26.
