The new EU Military Staff (EUMS) was declared formally operational on 11 June. The staff will advise the EU Political Security and Military Committee (EPSMC). The growing number of military staff posted by EU nations in Brussels now stands at about 90. They recently moved to a high?security building near the main EU Council centre. The staff will not as yet assist the EPSMC and the Military Committee during the upcoming exercises because the three bodies are not collectively operational. However the staff is ready to analyse, for example, the situation in Macedonia, outlining possible options for EU?led operations. Most probable is a leading role for NATO as they have the most forces on the ground.
