If necessary, JEF can deploy more than 10,000 troops to conduct humanitarian missions or high-intensity combat operations.
JEF can operate independently, but also has the ability to be deployed in support of NATO forces or other joint projects. For example, as part of UN peacekeeping forces. All ten JEF member states are also members of NATO.
