		The numbers 1 and 2 assigned to these naval groups are in accordance with the number of the NATO Response Force they are aligned with: 1 for the groups attached to the odd num-bered NRFs and 2 to the even ones; e.g., SNMG-1 will be attached to NRF-7.

	The EU headline goal and the NATO Response Force (NRF) - reply to the annual report of the Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The European Union's headline goal and the NATO Response Force (NRF) are supposed to be heading in the same direction, their purpose being to strengthen European defence capabilities, develop the capacity for military intervention as part of crisis management, and achieve a high level of credibility in the field of security and defence.

		Furthermore, this corresponds to the structure envisaged for the NRF which is divided into two force categories: the stand-by NRF capable of short-notice deployment and the pre-designated NRF undergoing training and preparation and ready for deployment in the medium and long term.

		Any alliance is subject to internal and external strains, but nearly all who have been closely connected with SNMG1 see it as a highly effective force and nucleus of NATO maritime power.

		He continued: "Looking to 2006 we will take part in a major NATO exercise, in which all NRF maritime, air and land assets are scheduled to participate." This exercise will be the ultimate test to prove that NATO's NRF has reached full operational capability.

	Defense Horizons No. 28
		The post-Prague NATO challenge is to maintain momentum on the twin goals of producing a new command structure and creating the NRF by the end of 2004--a short period in terms of achieving decisions in a consensus-driven alliance.
		As NATO collaborates on the NRF design, U.S. advocates are proposing a pool of between 21,000 and 28,000 high-readiness forces from which a combined joint task force of variable size can be tailored and deployed within 5 to 30 days, accompanied by 30 days of logistical sustainment.
		In fact, any NRF mission will require an array of support forces—such as embarkation support assets, strategic and tactical transport, long line communications providers, strategic intelligence resources, air defense, combat search and rescue, medical evacuation, and other assets--to be in almost as high a state of readiness as the NRF itself.
