The author deals with the Battlegroups of the European Union as one of key tools of the European Union rapid military response. The key points from the Concept of the European Union Battlegroups are analysed as a mean for encouraging continued improvements in deployable European military capabilities. This process helps widening the scope for burden sharing between European countries. EU BG roster for the following years and possible scenarios and methods for their deployment are described.
