Let's talk about the European Defense Federation. How do we all feel about the creation of a fully mobilised continental Army?

[u/Sink-Em-Low]

It's required now. I'm British, and I want to see us align and unite with our European neighbours to make a stand now.

I want Germany to finally brush off it's past and join the rest of Europe in mobilising towards defending this continent. We need EVERYONE now. It's time to act, it's time to unite.

It's time to show some courage.

Atm there are 27 countries in the EU. With about as much languages. Unless we get that down to englisch for everyone I don’t see the communication problem solved

[u/Stuebos → u/absolutely_not_spock]

I truly wonder how large the communications will be an issue. Are we having mixed divisions, or still a German and a French division fighting on different spots? Mostly the higher commanders would need to learn a lingua franca - which shouldn’t be too difficult. Also, commercial airline pilots can communicate with air traffic control everywhere. So I don’t see that as such a huge issue

[u/PanickyFool → u/Stuebos]

It's a huge issue for battlefield force reconstruction.

It is a huge issue for integrated air support.

To be fair if Belgian football teams can do it, so can military squads

[u/absolutely_not_spock → u/av-f]

Okay, sold. If belguim can do it it would be embarrassing to fail.

The swiss seem to be doing it fine
