Eurocorps, the European force that includes German, Belgian, Spanish, French and Luxemburgian soldiers, is organizing for missions in the area of crisis-management on account of the Western European Union (WEU). The German-French brigade of the corps already serves in Bosnia. A new mechanized division, consisting of one brigade for each country will now be formed for "peace-enforcement". A multinational brigade will be created for "humanitarian" intervention. These crisis-management missions can be executed under the flag of the UN or the OSCE but also on their own account if the five founding nations of the Eurocorps are united.
