Austria's Former Top EU General Brieger Urges Massive Increase in Military Preparedness
After three years at the helm of the European Union's Military Committee, former Austrian Chief of Staff Robert Brieger returns to Vienna and urges Europe, and Austria in particular, to drastically increase its defense readiness in light of the ongoing threat from Russia. Brieger calls for a paradigm shift—away from the Austrian Armed Forces as a disaster relief force and toward a combat-ready national defense army. A critical examination of Austrian neutrality is “inevitable” in this context.
