As previously reported, at the beginning of 2019, the Bundeswehr must play a decisive role in creating an international high-alert operational group, Spearhead (Speerspitze). The NATO project envisages an increased combat readiness of five thousand troops, who should, if necessary, begin operations at any point during the 48-72 hours.
